Who It Fits
Exporters and traders shipping metals, energy, or agri to buyers in higher-risk jurisdictions or with longer tenors.
Document Pack

Controls
Assignment of proceeds, title alignment, CMA where needed, and escrowed collections tied to loan conditions.
| LC Text Alignment Checklist | ||
|---|---|---|
| Clause | What We Align | Why It Matters |
| Incoterms & Shipment Window | FOB/CIF/CFR consistency, last shipment date, partials, transhipment | Prevents late shipment and routing discrepancies |
| Document List | Exact titles, originals vs copies, issuer independence, inspection windows | Reduces refusal for “not as per LC” |
| Drafts & Tenor | Sight vs usance, acceptance bank, maturity calculation | Enables discounting without re-papering |
| Discrepancy Handling | Notice periods, correction rights, tolerance (+/-) | Minimizes rejection risk and delays |
| Insurance | Coverage value, perils, claims payable location | Keeps title and risk compliant for lenders |
| Typical Cost Drivers | ||
|---|---|---|
| Item | Driver | Note |
| Issuance Fee | Applicant bank, tenor, corridor | Quoted by issuing bank |
| Confirmation Fee | Country risk, bank risk, amount | Set by confirming bank |
| Discount Margin | Tenor, currency, confirming bank | Post-acceptance only |
| Swift & Handling | Amendments, notices, courier | Small but cumulative |
