Logistics management is essentially the art of getting the right things, to the right places, at the right times, all while keeping costs under control. It's the planning, implementing, and overseeing of the entire flow of goods and services from the point of origin (where it's made) to the point of consumption (where it's used by the customer).

Various payment methods are accepted depending on the the size of the shipment, and the incoterms (terms of international commerce) agreed upon. However, some of the most common forms of payments are Wire Transfer (TT or TISS), or Cash on Delivery (COD), Credit Card and Letter of Credit.

Open Account: This method is typically only available to established customers with a good credit history. The importer or exporter pays the invoice at a later date, usually within a set number of days.
