THE FUSION FLUX

Using L/C (Letter of Credit) as transaction terms with CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) is common in international trade, but it adds complexity and cost due to bank involvement. The lack of a specified port means buyers must verify the exact loading location, which can delay shipments or cause confusion. Accepting USD is standard and helps with currency stability, but without a clear port, logistics planning becomes harder and more risky. A team of 11–50 employees responding to inquiries in over 59 hours is unusually slow for a supplier of this size. This suggests potential delays in communication, which could impact order timelines. Buyers should verify if this response time is consistent or if it reflects a backlog. Lack of turnover or accreditation data makes it harder to assess reliability or market presence.
