• The importer passes through a credit investigation procedure
• The insurance company assigns the importer a credit rating and credit limit
• The supplier opens a Sinosure insurance policy (or has previously opened one)
• The supplier registers the contract with the insurance company
• The supplier gets insurance for the invoice
• The importer pays a deposit (for the first part of the order, usually 10 to 30%) to the supplier
