Supplier Negotiation

Short answer

Most applications fail before they start because the supplier is unfamiliar with insured open-account terms or has no policy. We explain the process to the supplier's finance team, align both sides on deposit, tenor and pricing, and — where a supplier cannot participate — introduce exporters in the same category that already sell on Sinosure-insured terms.

What is included

  • Supplier outreach and explanation of the process
  • Confirmation of the supplier’s Sinosure policy status
  • Negotiation of deposit (often 0–10% after approval), tenor and due-date definition
  • Agreement on how any premium cost is reflected in pricing
  • Introductions to alternative insured exporters where needed

Why it matters

The supplier is the applicant. A supplier that understands and wants the arrangement is the difference between a request submitted this week and one that never happens.

Frequently asked questions

What if my supplier does not have a Sinosure policy?

Many established Chinese exporters already hold a short-term export credit insurance policy with Sinosure, and many more can obtain one. We approach your supplier, explain the process and coordinate the paperwork. If your current supplier cannot participate, we can introduce you to exporters in the same category that already do.

Do I still need to pay a deposit?

Sometimes a 0–30% deposit remains, with the insured balance paid on 90–120 day terms. Many suppliers move to 100% open account once your limit is approved and you have paid a few invoices on time. The exact split is negotiated per supplier.

Who pays the Sinosure premium?

The insured exporter pays the Sinosure premium under its own policy. Suppliers sometimes build part of that cost into unit pricing on long-tenor terms; how it is shared is a commercial negotiation between you and the supplier, and we help you negotiate it.
