One of the absolute basic ones is a matter of transferring the money abroad by the bank. Surprisingly, many b2b buyers do not know about couple of different instructions, which are set while making the offshore payment. It reults with lots of misunderstandings and problems with the suppliers, which might not had happened, if a buyer would have set the proper payment instruction.
In general, a payer is not only making the payment, but also decides who will pay the transfer’s charges. If he or she is not aware of that, or doesn’t know the descriptions of these instruction, then in most cases both the buyer and seller are being charged for the payment. It also means, that the supplier will not receive the full price, which has been previously agreed with the buyer.
