Documentary letters of credit are the most reliable way to settle in international trade for both importers and exporters of goods.
A documentary letter of credit is the obligation of the bank that opened the letter of credit (the issuing bank) on behalf of the buyer to pay the agreed amount to the seller, subject to the provision of the documents specified in the letter of credit to the seller.
The bank opens a letter of credit on the basis of instructions from the buyer (importer), drawn up in accordance with the terms of the contract. It is important for both the importer and the exporter of the goods to consider that letters of credit are a transaction separate from the sales contract or other agreements on which they are based. The obligations of the bank to execute the letter of credit are recorded in the text of the letter of credit itself.
