Payment Terms for Titanium Procurement
Neutral buyer guidance on payment terms, deposits, and milestones when procuring titanium parts.
Quick Answer
Agree on payment terms in writing before production: what deposit or milestone structure applies, when balance payment is due, and how currency, taxes, and Incoterms interact with the payment schedule.
Checklist
- Confirm deposit and milestone structure
- Clarify when final payment is due (on order, on shipment, on acceptance)
- Define currency and any payment fees
- Confirm how taxes and Incoterms affect the total
- Get payment terms in the contract, not just email
Terms are part of the contract
Payment structure interacts with delivery and Incoterms. Documenting the schedule protects both sides.
KEEP THE GAP
Credit terms and deposits are supplier-specific and often credit-dependent. titanium.blog does not prescribe commercial terms.
