This query is : Resolved 

01 April 2009 Sir,

Pls explain to me in details what is letter of credit and what is the role of it in export and import.

01 April 2009 A binding document that a buyer can request from his bank in order to guarantee that the payment for goods will be tranferred to the seller. Basically, a letter of credit gives the seller reassurance that he will receive the payment for the goods. In order for the payment to occur, the seller has to present the bank with the necessary shipping documents confirming the shipment of goods within a given time frame. It is often used in international trade to eliminate risks such as unfamiliarity with the foreign country, customs, or political instability.

Definition itself contains importance of it for the purpose of import and export.
