Learning Unit Summary

A documentary credit is an agreement under which a bank acting at the request and on instructions of the importer makes an undertaking to effect payment to the exporter against presentation of the required documents within the specified period of time, provided that the documents strictly comply with the terms and conditions stipulated in the credit. Letters of credit are more favourable for exporters rather than importers, as they are aimed at protecting the exporter.

  • lkdungtestWhat does a Vietnamese trade practitioner lack? Exposure to ICC experts, exchange with colleagues working in 'big name' organisations, and especially important - real case studies from all over the world. I got all these invaluable resources from eBSI at a cost which was great value for money. And amazingly enough, studying from home I was able to get an internationally recognized certificate!

  • test_ifetiniucThe ITS Accreditation was very beneficial for upgrading my business skills. I have got an Executive MBA in 1998, and I was looking for a certified program in the field of international trade that should be comprehensive, of high quality, with top faculties available anytime for whatever questions you might get in your project work, or training sessions. The eBSI was the right school for me. I was exciting to observe and take part in the creation of an international mindset. I had fun, every on-line session I spent enriched me with good business knowledge and understanding of people and cultures.
