在外贸术语中100% in advance 是什么意思啊

这是预付份额,若是电汇,还会有个时间底线,如：The Buyer should pay 100% of the sale amount to the Seller in advance by telegraphic transfer not later than ×××买方应不迟于×××,将100%的货款用电汇预付给卖方。若是保证金,一些集团对于新客户要求某种形式的100%的预付保证金,如：With the first time customer,Hirsch will ask for smoe type of deposit - up to 100% - in advance of shipment。而这个时候就没有用到信用证L/C了。
