Cases
Paying for industrial equipment from Europe
Equipment importEULocked rate
A manufacturer was buying machine tools in Europe, but the supplier refused a direct payment from Russia while delivery deadlines were closing in.
The problem
- The European supplier would not accept a direct transfer from Russia
- The buyer's bank would not process the payment to the supplier
- Any delay pushed back the launch of the production line
- The rate kept moving, so the final contract cost was unpredictable
What we did
- Signed an agency agreement and took over the contract settlement
- Made the payment through a European partner structure
- Locked the rate before the operation started
- Prepared the full closing document set for the import
The result
- The supplier was paid and shipped the equipment on time
- The final cost matched the locked-in rate
- The production line launched with no downtime
- The client's accounting was closed with correct documents
Takeaway
Even when a supplier won't take payments from Russia directly, we build a legal route with a fixed rate and a full document set.
