Import without a foreign-currency account:
preliminary check

We help assess a purchase when the settlement method, participant roles or import route are not yet clear. Based on the goods, parties and documents, we determine what work and terms can be discussed next.

First, we build a clear picture of the transaction

A foreign-currency account matters, but it is only one part of the situation. We review the parties, goods, route and documents. Then we explain which further procurement options can be considered and which data is needed first.

What we review first

  • Who is responsible for the stages

    We identify the roles of the buyer, payer, recipient, importer and other participants relevant to your transaction.

  • What the order is based on

    We compare the invoice or contract, goods, value, countries and available documents with what needs to be organised next.

  • What must be checked before a decision

    We note requirements for the goods, bank, currency, route and participants that may change the scope of the next stage.

What depends on the specific transaction

  • OZTA’s role

    OZTA acts as the client’s agent or as a party to the purchase contract. We record the specific role and scope of work in the order terms. Feasibility is checked by parties, goods, documents and route.

  • Terms for the specific transaction

    One general scenario does not replace checking the applicable terms, documents and obligations for the goods, countries and parties.

  • Payment feasibility and cost

    Settlements with a supplier relate to an agreed purchase or other assigned work. The payment method, bank charges and timing are confirmed for the order; we do not offer an independent transfer of money.

How a transaction decision emerges

First we study the initial data, then explain whether the review can continue and what work can be agreed next.

  1. You describe the transaction

    Goods, supplier, amount, countries, recipient and what is already known about the documents and settlement.

  2. We match the participants

    We clarify the parties’ roles, transaction basis and documents without which the next stage cannot be considered.

  3. We report the review result

    We explain whether the review can continue, which restrictions were found and what information is needed for an offer.

  4. We agree the next work

    Only when feasibility is confirmed do we describe the model, price, timing and terms of the specific order before payment.

How we calculate the cost

The cost depends on the permissible transaction terms, required documents and contractors who can perform the work. First we check these conditions, then prepare a specific offer.

  • First, we check feasibility

    We check the initial data and tell you what is missing for the next step.

  • Then we agree the scope of work

    We record which purchase, transport, inspection or document work needs to be organised. Settlements with a supplier or contractor are part of the terms of the relevant order.

  • External costs are calculated separately

    Bank, carrier, warehouse, documents and government charges arise under specific terms, not a universal tariff.

  • We state the price and timing before payment

    After the review, we will state the scope of work, full price of the current stage and the time needed to prepare the offer or perform the agreed work.

If mandatory conditions are not confirmed, we do not start the transaction and clearly explain what information or check is needed next.

What helps us check feasibility

A complete set is not needed at the start. Do not send unnecessary personal data; information about the goods and transaction is enough.

Describe the situation
  • Who is making the request

    An individual, sole proprietor or company and the purpose of the purchase.

  • What you plan to import

    Goods description, quantity, value and known restrictions.

  • Who the seller is

    Country, invoice, contract or supplier contact, if available.

  • What result is needed

    Destination country and city, desired timing and known document requirements.

Questions about checking an import

Can you say in advance that this model is legal?

No. It depends on the parties, contract, authority, goods, payment channel, taxes, import procedure and country. These conditions cannot be replaced by a general scenario name.

Who can make a request?

An individual, sole proprietor or company can describe the task. Availability and further terms depend on the client’s status, goods, country, amount and purpose of the transaction.

Which documents will be needed?

At the start, an invoice or contract, supplier details, goods description, value, countries and desired result are usually enough. We give the exact list after the initial review.

How quickly can we start?

There is no universal timing: it depends on the completeness of the data and checks required. After the initial review, we will give an estimated response time and the next step.

We will check your situation before commitments

Send the invoice or goods description, seller’s country and delivery country. State on whose behalf the transaction is planned.
