Documentary Letters of Credit
This introduction course covers the eight main types of Letters of Credit used in international trade from advance payment, including Sight Documentary Collection and Documentary Letters of Credit. It also includes the use of Bills of Exchange with and without documents.
Over 75% of first presentations to banks against Documentary Letters of Credit are rejected, resulting in delayed payments to exporters, additional costs, and breached delivery deadlines. This introduction course is suitable for all staff who need to have a clear understanding of the procedures required to ensure payments for goods sold on documentary credit terms. Knowledge and understanding are reinforced through the use of exercises, tips on getting the credit you want and working examples of documentary credits.
