Help clients keep importing. Keep every customs entry.

1. 1. Who we are. Rhofin Inc. is a nonbank commercial finance company, not a bank. Rhofin does not accept deposits or hold customer funds.
2. 2. Business use only. All financing described is commercial financing extended to business entities for business purposes. It is not available for personal, family or household purposes, and is not available to sole proprietorships, general partnerships or individuals.
3. 3. Nothing here is an offer. Nothing on this website is an offer or commitment to extend financing or to purchase a receivable. Submitting the form is a preliminary enquiry, not an application, and no credit check is run at that stage. Any transaction is subject to eligibility, verification, credit approval, required disclosures, definitive documentation and applicable law. Those documents govern. Nothing on this website varies them.
4. 4. Who provides the financing. During Rhofin's current limited-release phase, inventory financing may be provided directly by Rhofin, Inc. from its own balance sheet. Rhofin, Inc. is a nonbank commercial finance company and is not a bank. Rhofin does not accept deposits. The legal lender applicable to each transaction is identified in the definitive financing documents. Rhofin, Inc. may also provide the technology platform and act as servicer, administrator, agent or collateral agent, as specified in those documents. Financing is offered only where permitted by applicable law. Rhofin finances US incorporated businesses only. Availability varies by state. Financing requires the shipment to move through a participating logistics provider.
5. 5. Figures are examples. Figures shown are illustrative examples, not quotations. Your amount financed, annual percentage rate, total cost and repayment date are set at approval and disclosed to you in full before you commit.
6. 6. Pricing. Financing is priced per transaction. Rates start at 1.45% per 30 days on the supplier balance advance, and your rate depends on your credit profile, the shipment, the route, the supplier and the jurisdiction. Your amount financed, annual percentage rate, total financing cost and repayment date are set at approval and disclosed to you in full before you commit. There are no origination, arrangement, documentation, wire, platform or monthly fees. Eligible ocean freight is advanced at no financing charge and repaid at face value. A default margin applies to amounts unpaid from the sixth day after the maturity date, at the rate stated in your documents before you sign. Pricing may vary by state where required by applicable law.
7. 7. What the financing is. Rhofin extends a secured commercial loan against a specific shipment. Rhofin holds the bill of lading and takes a purchase money security interest in the specific financed goods and their identifiable proceeds, as described in the definitive transaction documents and applicable UCC filings. Rhofin holds a negotiable to-order bill of lading with telex and express release disabled. The cargo is released only against Rhofin's release instruction, under a procedure agreed in advance with the responsible logistics provider. The financing is full recourse, so if realising the cargo does not cover the amount owed you remain liable for the shortfall. If an amount stays unpaid Rhofin may sell the financed cargo, and has committed to use commercially reasonable efforts to complete a disposition within 90 days after maturity, subject to the exceptions in your documents, including legal process, customs or regulatory holds, casualty, general average, salvage, the absence of a commercially reasonable market, and your own acts or omissions. Repayment falls due on arrival of the cargo at the destination CFS, or on availability for collection where the shipment moves as a full container load, or on the earlier date on which the goods are sold or released to you. If you sell the goods you must prepay from the proceeds. Where cargo is released to you before payment, you hold the goods and their sale proceeds in trust for Rhofin, must keep the proceeds identifiable, and may be required to route them through an account Rhofin designates. Where your documents do not require cargo insurance, you bear the risk of loss, damage or destruction from any cause, and no such event reduces or suspends what you owe. Any additional credit support is set per facility and stated in your documents before signing.
8. 8. What is not financed. Duties, taxes and other government charges, demurrage, detention and storage are not financed and remain your responsibility, as they would be without financing. Where Rhofin pays a logistics charge to obtain release of your cargo, that amount is added to what you owe and bears interest at the rate applicable to advances. A customs detention, seizure or withhold release order does not suspend your obligation to repay.
9. 9. Out of scope. Commodities, seasonal goods and fungible bulk, goods not identifiable by container and lot marks, perishables, hazmat, pharma, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, sanctioned or high UFLPA risk supply chains, overland cargo from Canada or Mexico, businesses in serious financial distress, and importers shipping fewer than about four times a year. Approved lanes and approved suppliers only.
10. 10. Using an earlier receivable for a later shipment. With Rhofin's prior written approval for each receivable, Rhofin may purchase an eligible receivable arising from an earlier delivered batch under the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement. A receivable is eligible only if it arises from completed delivery supported by proof of delivery, is undisputed, legally enforceable and free from set-off or deduction, has not previously been sold, assigned or encumbered, and is owed by a buyer approved by Rhofin within the applicable ageing and concentration limits. The purchase price may be paid to you or applied toward the amount due under a separate inventory-finance transaction. To the extent the purchase price is applied to the inventory-finance transaction, that amount is treated as paid when the receivable purchase is completed and is not conditional on Rhofin later collecting from the buyer. Rhofin may notify the buyer of the purchase and direct the buyer to pay Rhofin. If Rhofin does not accept the receivable for purchase, the inventory-finance transaction must be settled in cash. Following a purchase, you remain responsible only for the seller-risk events and exclusions set out in the Master Receivables Purchase Agreement. Rhofin does not continuously finance the same goods between cargo release and proof of delivery. This clause does not apply where you are named as a Protected Client under a partner agreement between Rhofin and your factoring company. In that case Rhofin does not purchase your receivables during the applicable protection period, and an inventory-finance transaction is settled in cash, which you may fund from availability under your factoring facility at your request and with your factor's approval.
11. 11. Your existing lenders. Rhofin is designed to sit alongside an existing bank facility. Where another lender holds a security interest in your inventory, funding is conditional on a lien search showing no competing interest, or on a subordination, release or estoppel acceptable to Rhofin. You must identify that lender so Rhofin can send the UCC notice the law requires before you take possession of the goods. Most bank facilities also restrict additional indebtedness and additional liens. Whether Rhofin financing is permitted under your own facility documents is for you and your lender to confirm.
12. 12. Law and forum. Your transaction documents are governed by New York law. The state and federal courts in Manhattan have jurisdiction. You and Rhofin waive trial by jury. Payments are made in full without set-off or counterclaim.
13. 13. No advice. Nothing on this website is legal, tax, accounting or financial advice.
14. 14. Partners and introductions. Partners are not lenders, do not guarantee repayment, take no credit risk on the financing and do not act as the importer's adviser. Introductions require the importer's prior written consent to the disclosure of its information to Rhofin, and partners must not send client information without it. Rhofin pays any referral fee and any cargo control fee from its own margin under an executed partner agreement and only on eligible financed shipments. Neither is charged to the importer and both are disclosed to the importer.
