T/T (Telegraphic Transfer)

What is T/T?

A bank-to-bank wire transfer, and the default payment method in Korean cosmetics exports. Terms are usually quoted as a split — for example 30% T/T in advance to start production, with the 70% balance against a copy of the bill of lading before the original documents are released.
