Letters of credit
Paying by L/C?We read the fine print first.
We export from China against documentary letters of credit. Send us the draft before your bank issues it, and we check the terms against what we can actually ship and present.
Letters of credit
L/C terms, checkedbefore they becomeproblems.
Many discrepancies are written into a credit long before anyone ships: a latest shipment date the factory can’t meet, a document nobody can issue, a description that doesn’t match the invoice. Send us the draft before your bank issues it — we check it line by line against the production plan and the sailing schedule.
