What is 400k Import Finance and how does it work?
Letter of Credit (LC)
A Letter of Credit is a guarantee from a bank that promises to pay the exporter on behalf of the importer, as long as specific terms and documents are met. This helps build trust between buyers and sellers in international trade.
Trade Loans (Import Loans)
Trade or Import Loans are short-term loans provided to importers to quickly cover the cost of goods, including shipping, taxes, and duties. This allows businesses to purchase products overseas even if they don't have immediate cash available, and then repay the loan after selling the goods.
Documentary Collection
Documentary Collection is a method where banks handle shipping paperwork, ensuring the importer receives documents needed to claim goods only after payment or acceptance of payment terms. Unlike Letters of Credit, banks do not guarantee payment, making it suitable for trusted trading relationships.
