UNDERSTANDING LCS

Letter of credits are international instruments of payment. They are like using cheque to pay for goods internationally

We have various types of letter of credits but the most common are:-

 Confirmed LC
 Unconfirmed LC
 Irrevocable LC
 Confirmed irrevocable LC

Now the payment time this LC kicks in can be LC at sight, LC at 30 days after shipment, 60 days after shipment etc.

All LCs are like documents stating the terms and conditions of payment and description and qty of goods to be paid for that's why it's also called DLC - documentary letter of credit

LCs also have expiry date just like cheques and bank drafts within which you must ship goods or it’s cancelled.

Confirmed LC is like bank draft which means your bank has confirmed the LC and money is sitting in the buyers account.

Unconfirmed LC means the opposite of confirmed LC irrevocable means LC cannot be cancelled without sellers permission after it has being issued
