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.
Benefits
- Facilitate your imports from different countries
- Ensure that what you order is what you get
- Enhance your international business reputation by complying with the payment terms
- Pay upon arrival of merchandise
- Option to pay later
Uses for documentary collections:
- To avoid down payments or advance payments
- To negotiate credit terms with a familiar or recurring supplier (acceptances)
- To simplify the process of buying goods from overseas
Once the merchandise you have bought from your international supplier has been shipped, originals of the documents of title, invoice, insurance and shipping documentation (airway bill / bill of lading) are forwarded to our bank, as intermediary, in evidence of shipment, and indicating the payment terms.
