Overview of the webinar

Letters of Credit are the primary instruments for assuring payment of goods sold internationally. Letters of Credit are issued under the Uniform Customs and Practice standard and can be negotiated by over 30,000 banks worldwide.
This web session is designed to provide attendees with an end-to-end understanding of the L/C (letter of credit) process. From the beginning of a contractual agreement, through the letter of credit application process and actual negotiation of the L/C, this information-rich webinar will provide techniques that are indispensable to both importers and exporters.

Who should attend?

If your organization is engaged in importing and exporting, then your staff should understand Letters of Credit.
Even in today’s free trade-oriented business environment, companies must exercise particular caution when agreeing on payment terms. With financing choices that include cash in advance, open terms, letters of credit (L/C), sight drafts and time drafts, both importers and exporters need to understand the true implications of their credit policies and practices.
In recognition of the challenges associated with the execution of international payment terms, this webinar will provide both importers and exporters with the insight necessary to make well-informed credit decisions. Using a combination of easy-to-understand explanations and real-life scenarios, this program is ideal for credit managers, international sales people, logisticians and order management personnel.
