王俊《商务英语函电》5. Payment.pptVIP

Payment by collection is usually used when the financial standing of the importer is sound, or the exporter wishes to push the sale of his goods, or the amount involved in a transaction is not so big. Otherwise, an L/C is more reliable and safer, facilitating trade between unknown parties and giving protection to both the exporter and the importer. However, it is complicated to open an L/C, and it costs more. 信用证的开立过程是从开证申请人开始的。申请人向银行申请开立一份以出口方为受益人、以购货金额为开证金额的信用证，开证申请包括进出口双方之间达成一致意见的所有交易条款。进口方银行将信用证寄往它在出口方所在国家的往来银行，往来银行收到信用证后应通知出口方信用证已到达。通常由通知行对信用证进行保兑，这意味着在信用证的所有规定得到履行的情况下，通知行应承担向出口方付款的责任。出口方在收到信用证后开始执行订单，通知行在出口方履行完信用证规定的义务后，即会付款。进口方也受到同等保护，因为只有当出口方履行了全部交易条款后，银行才会根据进口方的指示付款。 V.
