Telegraphic Transfer.
I am looking what does mean PAD in Shipping freight terms
it means to take care of the shipping and respect the terms
Generally it would mean that Telegraphic Transfer (TT) will be made after seeing the shipping documents. Although it should be more specified, e.g. 100%TT against copies of original shipping documents sent by e-mail, or other. Otherwise the term would stay a little too general and could be misunderstood by both Parties. Best of Luck!
