FOB terms mean the buyer takes responsibility for shipping once goods leave Surabaya, Indonesia. This shifts risk and cost to the buyer after the goods are loaded, which is common in Southeast Asian trade. T/T payment terms are widely used in international trade, but they require secure communication and trust between buyer and supplier. Using USD as the accepted currency simplifies transactions with global buyers, especially those in North America or Europe. Most suppliers with 1-10 employees and under $1M annual turnover are small local players with limited capacity. Having export import license, tax company license, and company register shows they are legally allowed to trade internationally and are registered properly. However, responding to inquiries in 195 hours is very slow — this could mean poor customer service or lack of dedicated support, which may delay orders or negotiations.
