Unit 7 Terms of PaymentI. IntroductionThe payment plays a very important role in business. The final result of all business activity should be to recover the value of goods supplied or services rendered. If payment is not ensured then all will be meaningless. Both the exporter and importer face risks in an export transition because there is always the possibility that the other party may not fulfill the contract.For exporters there is the risk that buyers defaults; the customers might not pay in full for the goods. There are several reasons for this: the importers might go bankrupt; a war might ban importers of certain commodities. Another possibility is that the importer might run into difficulties getting the foreign exchange to pay for the goods. It is even possible that the importers are not reliable and simply refuse to pay the agreed amount of money.For the importers there is risk that the goods will be delayed and they might only receive them after paying them. This may caused by port congestion or strikes. Delays in fulfillment of orders by exporters and difficult customs clearance in the importing country can cause loss of business. There is also a risk that the wrong goods might be sent.Payment in foreign trade is complicated and settlement for foreign accounts may be made in a number of ways. The method of payment for each transaction is to be agreed upon between the two trading parties at the time of placing an order. The most often adopted method of payment in our foreign trade is payment by L/C,Terms of payment means way or method of making payment. The methods we use in payment in the clearing of international trade are remittance, collection and the letter of credit (L/C).Remittance is classified into 3 kinds: 1)Mail transfer (M/T) 2)Telegraphic transfer (T/T) 3)Demand draft (D/D) The buyer buys a draft from a local bank and sends it by mail to the seller, the seller or his appointed person can collect money from the relative bank at his end against the draft sent by the buyer.Sometimes, the importer requests payment to be made by collection through banks under the terms of documents against payment (D/P) or documents against acceptance (D/A). In this case, the banks will only do the service of collecting and remitting and will not be liable for non-payment of the importer. D/P calls for actual payment against transfer of shipping documents. There are D/P at sight and D/P after sight. The former requires immediate payment by the importer to get hold of the documents. In the latter condition, the importer is given a certain period to make payment as 30, 45, 60 or 90 days after presentation of the documents, but he is not allowed to get hold of the documents until he pays. D/A calls for delivery of documents against acceptance of the draft drawn by the exporter. D/A is always after sight.L/C is used in cases where the exporter wishes to avoid the risk, and it involves a guarantee of the bank opening the L/C. An L/C is a document issued by a bank (issuing bank) stating its commitment to pay the seller a stated amount of money on behalf of the buyer as long as the seller meets very specific terms and conditions. There are many types of L/C, such as Documentarty L/C, Irrevocable L/C, Revocable L/C, Transferable L/C, Sight L/C, Time L/C, Confirmed L/C, Unconfirmed L/C. Parties concerned to a documentary credit are: the applicant, the issuing bank, the advising bank, negotiating bank, the paying bank, confirming bank and the beneficiary.The letters of payment of payment in international trade may discuss which terms of payment of OK for both parties, accept or decline a method of payment, urge to open the relevant L/C or ask for amendment to the L/C.II.

Please confirm if this is acceptable to you.10 Much to our surprise, our draft on you dated 11 May and due 1 July was returned dishonored yesterday by our bank.11.

信用证的开立、修改和延期 Establishment of L/C and Amendment
信用证是一种由银行开立的有条件的承诺付款的书面文件。是当今国际贸易中普遍采用的一种主要支付方式。它是由进口人履行付款的责任转为由银行来履行。银行保证出口人安全迅速收到货款，买方按时收到货运单据，从而提取货物。采用信用证支付的好处是信用证项下首先负付款责任的是开证行。只要提供的单据与信用证的规定完全相符，即使是买方倒闭、货价下跌，银行都要付款
1. as a rule = usually 通常 As a rule ，we require commercial invoice in four copies. 通常我们需要商业发票1式4份。 As a rule ，commission is allowed to agents only. 佣金通常只付给代理商。
3. tight 紧的，难得到的 tight money tight market Energy resources are tight the world over. 能源是全球性紧张。 They ask for this accommodation because their funds are tight. 他们要求照顾，因为他们手头拮据。

国际商务函电之付款方式terms-of-payment

Modes of payment
1. Remittance
2. Collection
3. Letter of credit
Remittance
It is a commercial credit, used in those sales under the terms of payment in advance, cash on delivery, and open account. • • Mail transfer: M/T Telegraphic transfer: T/T
Documentary collection (1) Documents against payment (D/P) The shipment documents are to be delivered against payment only. D/P at sight——Pay against documentary draft at sight
•
a check payable at sight
• 应付票据
• 应付款额
• 应付账款
• 见票即付支票
Payment： • payment terms
• payment on deferred terms
• monthly payments of $ 3,000 • 付款条件 • 延期付款 • 每月支付3000美元
• 信用证方式有三个特点： • 一是信用证是一项自足文件（self-sufficient instrument）。信用证不依附于买卖合同，银行在审单时强调的是信用证与基础贸易相分离的书面形式上的认证； • 二是信用证方式是纯单据业务（pure documentary transaction）。信用证是凭单付款，不以货物为准。只要单据相符，开证行就应无条件付款； • 三是开证银行负首要付款责任（primary liabilities for payment）。信用证是一种银行信用，它是银行的一种担保文件，开证银行对支付有首要付款的责任。
