TOPIC : Payment terms -- quoting offers in USD

Dear All,
I am doing small business, international supplier,for design Engg.models (mock-up. scale models etc)
I would like to know, is it a good practice to quote our offer in USD? Since day by day USD is becoming weak (falling value against INR). In this case during supply of items we get lower value of our product in hand, Or we have to quote in that country's currency?

It is true that, some earlier, USD always on higher side and exporters getting higher value at the end of the day, but now time has change so, pl advice how to quote our product during tender doc. or when asked for.

Re: Payment terms -- quoting offers in USD

Yes, Mr Manohar Godse , the SME problem is also happening to me. But after some rounds of considerations, I work up with some new resolutions, I don't know is it useful for or not, but I think I should share with you .....

You know I am from china, and the USD is also depreciating in terms of RMB (Chinese currency), so when I get a inquiry, I firstly check out all the cost in RMB, and then changing to USD according to rate of USD/RMB of that day, and I of course mentioned the rate also in the quotation and inform our customers that the price will be finalised according to rate of USD/RMB of the day when we signed the sells contract, I think in this way you can avoid such problem, why not give a try ..........

Re: Payment terms -- quoting offers in USD

Firstly, I should say that your topic isn't correct. Payment term is one thing & quoting offers in USD or others is another thing.

Anyway, quoting offers is better in USD or in others, depending your market - you should quote in EURO for Europe and in USD for others regions.

Re: Payment terms -- quoting offers in USD

In most cases, we would like to quote in USD, but sometimes we also could quote in EUR, and our clients agree with it.

Re: Payment terms -- quoting offers in USD

Looking at the current scenario. It is advisable to quote in EURO being stable as compared to USD. Explain the reason why you wish to prefer payment in Euro as compared to USD. EURO and USD being freely convertible currency and widely accepted majority all over the world.

Re: Payment terms -- quoting offers in USD

Dear Sir,
Due appreciating rupee all are effected for realisation against dollar currency. But the effect is to all international suppliers.You may increase price if possible and if not talk to customers to accept price varion clause giving base rate on the offer day.

Re: Payment terms -- quoting offers in USD

DEAR MANOHAR,

IF YOU WANT TO GIVE QUOTATION TO NEW BUYER THEN YOU FIRSTLY CALCULATE YOUR COST & THEN YOU CONVERT THE PRICE IN FOREIGN CURRENCY (US $, EURO & OTHERS).

BUT IF YOU HAVE YOUR EXISTING BUYER, THEN YOU SHOULD TRY TO UNDERSTAND THAT NOW THEY GET LOWER AMOUNT IN INR & FR PROOF YOU CAN SEND THE SCANNED COPY OF CURRENT FIRC & FIRC IN WHICH YOU GET MORE THEN 44 INR AGAINST 1 US $.

YOU DRAFT THE LETTER FOR PRICE INCREASE IN THAT CURRENCY COMPARISON. YOU WILL GET GOOD PROPER RESPONSE FROM YOUR BUYER.

WISH YOU ALL THE BEST

Always freely convertable currency is best for quote.
