Importers financing
The container is paid for months before it sells.
A deposit at order, the balance at shipment, duties at customs — the cash is committed months before the container clears and the first domestic sale lands.
The financing reality
Your money moves on a cycle. So should your capital.
One container cycle — deposit, balance, freight, and duties — commonly commits around $100,000 for three to four months.
A typical situation, not a quote.
