Issues stem from Turkey's forex controls and stricter bank reviews. Avoid Lira (TRY),lock in USD/EUR and have clients bear exchange costs. You need a notarized 'Exporter Registry Form',without it,clients can't get forex quotas. Be alert to US secondary sanctions,if clients are on SDN lists or in sensitive sectors,banks will block them. Pre-screen through banks and consider RMB (CIPS) as an alternative to bypass USD clearing. Keep full trade backgrounds for anti-money laundering checks.

Collection risks often stem from losing cargo control. Bind payment to logistics: use sight L/C or D/P to keep control until paid. If T/T is used, insist on 'Payment against B/L copy' and use 'To Order' bills with bank collection. Turkey clearance is 7-10 days; set credit periods accordingly. Sinosure is a must (covers refusal, bankruptcy, political risk). Reminder: Turkey auctions goods after 45 days at port; transfer this pressure to the client.

Don't refuse outright; offer 'stepped' solutions. Talk about: 'We understand the forex shortage; to start, we accept 30% T/T deposit + 70% sight L/C'. This locks cash flow. Add clauses: 'If TRY/USD fluctuates >5%, we renegotiate price'. Suggest Escrow accounts for trusted clients with short-term liquidity issues. Negotiation core is showing you are solving their problem. Offer 2% discount for future orders for on-time payment.
