OUR EXPERTISE / IMPORT & TRADE FINANCE
Import finance.
Connect trade and capital.
For Chennai businesses procuring from overseas or managing supplier credit, KJK helps organise import and trade-finance requirements around the transaction, currency, payment terms and operating cycle.
The funding conversation at a glance.
THE BUSINESS PURPOSE
Imports, supplier credit and transaction-specific trade instruments
PREPARE THE PICTURE
Supplier terms, currency, shipment milestones and bank arrangements
WHAT THE PROVIDER ASSESSES
Transaction evidence, instrument terms and participating-bank assessment
THE OPPORTUNITY
Make the transaction structure clear
An import requirement involves more than the purchase price. Supplier terms, shipment milestones, currency exposure, documentation and the proposed payment instrument all affect how the transaction should be presented.
The aim is a well-prepared conversation: a clear purpose, realistic assumptions and an organised view of the information that matters.
WHEN THE CONVERSATION MATTERS
Different situations.
A relevant starting point.
Illustrative business requirements to help frame your enquiry.
01
Raw-material imports
Make supplier terms, shipment milestones, currency exposure and the intended payment instrument clear before a bank discussion.
02
Imported production equipment
Separate equipment cost, duties, installation and operating capital. Match payment timing to delivery and commissioning.
03
Trade instruments and credit
Explore the practical requirements for letters of credit, supplier credit and overseas guarantees, subject to bank acceptability.
BEFORE YOU COMPARE OPTIONS
Look beyond
the headline amount.
A useful comparison starts with the whole arrangement. Ask for clear answers before deciding how to proceed.
01
Purpose & timing
Start with supplier credit against letters of credit for raw materials. Explain the stage, when capital is needed and what happens if the timetable changes.
02
Cost & commitments
Consider interest, funding-provider charges, KJK’s client-paid brokerage or commission, security, covenants and repayment conditions together.
03
Responsibility & next steps
KJK helps prepare and coordinate the discussion. The provider determines its terms and funding decision. Obtain appropriate independent professional advice.
PREPARE WITH CONFIDENCE
Make the first
conversation count.
You do not need to upload documents to begin. A clear business overview helps identify the information needed for the next stage.
01
Supplier quotation and payment terms
Describe the supplier, goods, payment schedule and intended instrument.
02
Goods and shipment milestones
Map shipment, delivery and payment milestones, including possible delays.
03
Existing bank arrangements
Summarise current limits, bank arrangements and relevant transaction obligations.
04
Currency exposure and repayment sources
Identify the currency and the cash expected to repay the obligation.

YOUR QUESTIONS
Clarity before
the next step.
Is a letter of credit the same as a loan?
No. It is a bank payment undertaking subject to its terms and compliant documents. Related financing may also be required.
Are all overseas guarantees accepted locally?
No. Issuing-bank acceptability, advising arrangements and transaction terms must be examined by participating banks.
Can imported equipment be discussed?
Yes. The published KJK scope includes local and imported equipment, subject to the specific transaction and assessment.
Does KJK provide the funding itself?
KJK does not lend directly. We help prepare and coordinate a funding proposal with banks and other funding sources. Approval, pricing, documentation and disbursement remain with the relevant provider.
How are brokerage or commission terms explained?
Clients pay KJK brokerage or commission for facilitation. Ask for the fee basis, payment stage and conditions in writing before proceeding. A website enquiry does not establish credit eligibility.
