Advance import remittance is one of the methods of settlement in international trade where the buyer is required to send payment to the seller before the goods are shipped, and the seller receives the payment in advance. This type of payment typically occurs when the buyer is unknown to the seller and the seller enjoys a monopoly/commanding position in the market.
Faster processing of transactions and quick turnaround time.
Wide network of correspondent banks for efficient remittance.
Advisory on FEMA regulations.
Convenient online channel for bill of entry regularisation.

The following steps explain how advanced import remittance works:
Buyer and seller agree to conduct business on advance payment terms.
Buyer applies to their bank to make an advance payment against impending imports.
The buyer makes an advance payment to the seller through the bank.
After receipt of payment, the seller ships the goods and forwards the documents directly to the buyer.
The buyer submits the bill of entry details to the bank upon receipt of the goods.
