credit 1.2: Procedure to open a L/C at Techcombank i INTRODUCTION After international economic integration, Vietnam has achieved certain achievements To get this result, we cannot deny the great contribution of foreign trade - the bridge between Vietnam's economy and the world economy The opening up of international trade and investment relations more and more widely requires the continuous development of international payment, currency and banking services In today's international trade, there are many payment methods such as money transfer, collection, opening a debit book, collection entrustment, letter guarantee, and documentary credit However, only the documentary credit payment method ensures the best interests of both parties Payment by this method will strictly bind the responsibility of the seller and the buyer Therefore, the international payment subject project has presented specific details about the documentary credit method, bringing useful knowledge to students The international payment course project consists of two parts: Chapter 1: APPLICATION FOR LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUANCE Chapter 2: PREPARATION OF THE DOCUMENT PACKAGE AS L/C REQUEST Due to limited understanding, it is difficult in our group's article avoid certain errors and omissions I hope the teacher will help I recognize and correct my mistakes Finally, I would like to thank lecturer Luong Thi Kim Oanh for supporting us to complete this project ii CHAPTER : APPLICATION FOR LETTER OF CREDIT ISSUANCE 1.1 Fundamental theory on documentary credit 1.1.1 Documentary credit definition A documentary credit is a method of payment that protects both the seller (exporter) and the buyer (importer) in a contract of sale In the case of the seller, it gives a guarantee (usually issued by the buyer’s bank on his request) that the seller will receive payment after the shipment of goods has been fulfilled On the buyer’s side, however, the buyer gets a guarantee that goods ordered will be delivered Generally, the seller requests the documentary credit in order to check the credit worthiness of the buyer The buyer, upon issuing the requested document, also requests confirmation or compliance documents from the seller The confirmation documents could be a bill of lading, insurance certificate, certificate of origin, et cetera At the fulfilment of the agreed terms in the contract by both parties, the buyer gets his goods and the seller gets paid In some parts of the world, documentary credit is also known as a letter of credit (L/C) 1.1.2 Parties to a
