The Best method for both parties is LC with a condition "letter of acceptance from the buyer with a period of time30 days from B/L date" , you can modify the period of time according to the transit time of the shipment.
otherwise, althought it would be extra fees on the buyer, the buyer can ask for a certificate from3rd party just like SGS, to be submited with the LC documents
Something guarantees payments such as Letter of Credit..
L/C is the most common option.
However at times you can also opt for10% advance payment and the balance after your shipper or a3rd party inspects the goods to be in good condition or even after it has recehed the port of destination and once you have the inspection report you can do the balance trasfer. This kind of payment is helpful incase of a monopoly supplier.
