Letters of Credit are one of the most secure payment instruments available but can be labor-intensive and relatively expensive due to bank fees. They are recommended for use in higher-risk situations, when the importer’s credit is unacceptable or not available, when dealing with a new or less-established trade relationship or when extended payment terms are requested.

The required documents are detailed and prone to errors and discrepancies. To avoid payment delays and extra fees, documents required by the Letter of Credit should be prepared by trained professionals.

Additionally, the exporter should consult with their bank before the importer applies for the Letter of Credit. Ask about:

• What type and size of export transactions are suitable for a Letter of Credit?
• How much does a Letter of Credit cost? Who pays the fees?
• How are disputes resolved between importer and exporter?
