Installment payment is mostly used for some product transactions with long production cycle and high cost. Such as the export of complete sets of equipment, large vehicles and heavy machinery and equipment. Installment payment means that after the import and export contract is signed, the importer pays a small part of the payment to the exporter as a down payment, and most of the rest is paid in installments after part or all of the products are produced and shipped, or after the goods are installed, debugged, invested and guaranteed.
Installment payment is actually a loan provided by the seller to the buyer. The seller is the creditor and the buyer is the debtor. The buyer can get the goods or services he needs only by paying a small amount of money, but because the interest is included in the future installment, the amount paid for the same goods or services by installment is more than the amount paid in one lump sum.
On the one hand, installment payment allows sellers to complete promotional activities, on the other hand, it also provides convenience for buyers.

The buyer and the seller sign a contract at the time of transaction, and the buyer pays the goods and services to the seller in installments within a certain period of time. The date and amount of each payment are stated in the contract in advance.
Article 634 Where the installment payment unpaid by the buyer reaches one-fifth of the total price, and the buyer still fails to pay it after being urged, the seller may require the buyer to pay the whole price or terminate the contract.
If the seller terminates the contract, it may require the buyer to pay the fee for the use of the subject matter.
