Kind Reminders

1.The L/C you have received shall include the specific name of the goods in order to prevent the suspicion of money laundering, and shall follow UCP600.

2.Letter of credit is the bank¡¯s commitment of payment; its payment assurance capacity depends on the credit of the letter issuing bank to a very wide extent. Therefore, our bank suggests that you ask the exporter to have the L/C issued by a bank with a ranking of the investment level or higher, so as to avoid the risks in the unreasonable payment refusal and credit standing of the letter issuing bank.

3.Letter of credit is a conditional commitment of payment; L/C clauses indicate the specific payment conditions of the letter-issuing bank; if the payment conditions are severe or hard for you to meet, the payment promised by the bank will become nothing but just a piece of paper. Therefore, you shall carefully examine L/C clauses and ask the exporter to revise the L/C according to our bank¡¯s risk reminders whenever possible so as to avoid L/C related disputes and risks of proceeds receipt.

4.When submitting the vouchers, you shall submit the customer contact list, all vouchers required by the L/C, L/C, the revised original copy, and letter of notice.
