One of the importers reported a return of payment in yuan three months after payment, the goods had been received and cleared by that time. Another entrepreneur also waited for about three months for the payment to go through the Chinese bank, the funds were also returned after “customs clearance” and receipt of the goods. Another businessman received a return of payment four months later, although he was sure that the funds had been transferred to the counterparty. A different situation developed for the fourth interlocutor of Vedomosti: the Chinese supplier informed him that he could not receive the payment from the bank and therefore decided to return it.
