The Golden Rule of Trade
Exporters want to be paid as early as possible, while Importers want to pay as late as possible. Successful trade negotiation often involves meeting in the middle with methods like L/C or D/P.
KYC / AML
Ensure all parties undergo "Know Your Customer" checks before initiating T/T or L/C transactions.
Bank Fees
L/C fees can range from 0.25% to 1% of the total value per quarter.
