Import Documentary Collections

Import Documentary Collections are instruments issued by international banks in the export trade. The services rendered by our bank concern advising you of the shipment having taken place, collecting from you the payment for remittance to your supplier’s designated bank and simultaneously releasing to you the shipping documents that you need to clear the goods.
