Information Required from Exporters
Template Email for Export Credit Enquiries
Exporters can use this template email for an export credit enquiry to email NZECO staff. It will launch a draft email message that has the checklist of information required from exporters (below) in the body of the email and is addressed to eco@treasury.govt.nz.
Alternatively, you can copy and paste the checklist text below into a draft email and email it to eco@treasury.govt.nz.
Checklist
For an initial non-binding indication from the NZECO, the following information is sought from exporters.
Export: What are the goods / services or project?
Country: What is the country of destination?
Value:
What is the approximate value of the entire transaction?
What is the currency denomination for the transaction?
What is the approximate value of the NZ exporter’s share of the transaction (if different)?
What advance payment / deposit will be received by the exporter?
Credit term: What is the length of the credit term the exporter would like to offer the buyer, or is being sought by the buyer?
Financier: Who is your bank (or the institution likely to fund the transaction)?
Disbursements: Will there be progress payments pre-shipment, during the design and build period? If so, for how long?
Buyer:
Who is the buyer? - Name, Address, Website.
What type of buyer is it? Private, corporate, sovereign?
What experience does the exporter have with the buyer?
What credit information is available on the buyer?
Likely Project Timing: What is the anticipated time schedule for this transaction?
Once it is more likely that the transaction will progress, the NZECO will request a formal application and then will undertake a more robust assessment. Further information will be sought depending on the risk profile of the buyer and the country. For example, in order to properly undertake a full credit assessment on a buyer, the NZECO will seek audited financial accounts (at least the previous two years), future cashflows and a credit report.
