The key points for the exporter
When it comes to documentary credit transactions, you must make sure that all the relevant terms and conditions are strictly met. In order to ensure bankable security, you would be well-advised to check at the sales negotiation stage which form of documentary credit would be most suitable for you. As an exporter, you should bear in mind the following main considerations in connection with documentary credit transactions.
Before issuing a documentary credit
What is the right form of credit (confirmed or unconfirmed) and what risks need to be covered?
Payment arrangements (payment at sight or, for example, 60 days from shipment)?
Amount, currency?
Terms of delivery (Incoterms 2000)?
Credit period?
Dispatch deadline?
Partial shipments permitted?
Who bears the costs?
etc.
The accompanying forms - „Proposal for Importer’s request to issue a documentary credit confirmed/unconfirmed” – will guide you through the key points to be taken into consideration and can be passed on to your buyer.
