Nevertheless, it may be essential to ask for at least part of the purchase price with the order or before shipment in cases where orders are from politically unstablecountries or financially unstable customers, or where goods are specifically custommade for a new customer who has no long-term "good faith" relationship with you, or where the exporter may be locking up considerable capital in the preparation ……
