What deposit and payment protection is normal in lingerie manufacturing?

Thirty percent deposit with the balance against the bill of lading copy is the common structure. It moves with order size and with whether the fabric has to be specially dyed, but the shape stays the same: money follows evidence of progress.

Two protections matter more than the percentage. The beneficiary name must match the business licence exactly, and it must be a company account rather than a personal one. And the order should define inspection before the balance is released, with the AQL level written into the purchase order.
