Advance Payment Guarantee

Advance payment guarantees are used primarily in connection with contracts for substantial capital goods under which it has been agreed that the importer will pay part of the purchase amount in advance. An advance payment guarantee ensures that the exporter will pay back the advance payment if they fail to meet their contractual obligations.

Below are two common examples of an advance payment guarantee.
