1. By Government Regulations it is mandatory that the material for exports is “PREPAID” and this is stamped on all documents also.

2. Depending upon the relationship with the customer, we book on Paid, To Pay and To Be Billed.

3. Particularly in To Pay there is a problem since export consignment has to be delivered at Benapole, Bangladesh.It is an international border and we cannot collect to-pay freight from Bangladesh. If exporter can pay the freight at Kolkata before delivery of the goods we can accept to-pay basis.
