I am the buyer. The term is FOB GENOVA. My supplier asked me to pay by TT the invoice value before he release necessary documents to my forwarder for custom clearance for export. Can I refuse to pay until the containers were on board of vessel and original B/L were issued ?

,理论上你(BUYER)是有权拒绝付款的.
因为在FOB条件下,货物上船后SELLER才是真正完成了「交货」的责任.既然提单都未到手,即是仍然未正式「交货」啦,又何来可以收钱??
〔为免麻烦,我建议你将SELLER的书面要求转交你的上司(甚至是大老板???),由高层人士来决定是否可以作「特别处理」. 不过,如果是在我工作的那间公司的话,不见提单副本是决不找数的,就算SALES答应,ACCOUNT都不会开票〕,It is based on the day of credit terms and full set of shipping documents as required by and made beeen you and your buyer. Normal shipping practice is that buyer should pay you money once you have cleared customs in the origin port and the goods is laden onboard vessel. shipping pany confirmed such loading however, you should pay all the local charges if incurred before shipping pany can issue you OCEAN BILL OF LADING excepted that copy bill of lading is acceptable by buyer otherwise you should ask for 3 originals bill of lading and send to your buyer for said payment.
If your goods is made by L/C then you should surrender full set shipping documents to the bank for negotiation.
