spot and forward D / P basic operating procedures are as follows:
(1) buyer and seller in a contract with D / P will be settled, it is the foundation;
(2) the seller delivers the goods for all documents (including the shipping documents such as bills of lading, and commercial documents such as bills, invoices, etc.);
(3) foreign banks to contact the seller for its D / P collection requirements, fill in the collection order and deliver all documents;
(4) review the seller's accepted foreign bankers accept the collection order and all documents and receipts issued to the seller;

in D / P export business, exporters should note the following important questions:
1. D / P business, exporters, importers to obtain payment of the guarantee credit, so pay attention to the importer's ability to pay and business reputation, is that an important prerequisite for payment.
2. After delivery of the goods, documents from the exporter to the importer, the transfer process, pay attention to the control through the document to control the goods, the importer before the payment should be firmly in control of documents.
3.

Therefore, good control of the handover point, circulation of documents in accordance with specifications.
4. As far as possible the way the bill of lading instructions. This can be controlled by controlling the bill of lading the goods.
D / P risk
Although both cases the importer of import bank must pay before delivery of documents to the importer, and therefore the risk of both the law should say the same, but because of the risk faced by business practices in different export Business self-designated bank directly to the buyer for payment at risk.
according to the International Chamber of Commerce \ importers named in the bank for payment, etc. (collecting bank). However, in the collection business, collecting bank is not obliged to accept the commission exporters. In other words, after receiving the collection instruction, the bank is entitled to refuse to provide the service.
exporters through their bankers (the remitting bank) for collection, the remitting bank will arrange the collecting bank (regardless of whether the importer named in the line, and regardless of whether it is the importer's bankers) to handle Tips and receivables. Remitting bank documents for mailing the risks involved in the collection, you need to commit to the exporter. And if the process of the prompt payment of any problems, the remitting bank and collecting bank will be fully effective contact.
the contrary, if the exporter by mail documents themselves, on the one hand documents destroyed in transit, the risk of loss to be borne by the exporter, on the other hand, exporters are not imported to the bank between the client and import to banks businesses on how to manage this collection have trouble, leading the bank to handle the collection time to be included in the normal business management procedures, which require special treatment.
In addition, exporters, importers often can not determine the accuracy of the information provided by banks, such as bank name, address. If the name and the address incorrectly, may lead to the receipt of all documents, which may result in the original documents by the other person by delivery of the goods. Deliberate fraud in the case of exporters, direct mail,
belstaff jackets sale, document fraud who will undoubtedly bring great convenience.
D / P and D / A in the definition and difference?
Speaking from the collection
this:
A. The basic meaning of the collection
Collection (Collection) is a creditor (exporter) commissioned the bank to the debtor (importer) to receive payment of a settlement. The basic approach is the exporter first shipment, and then available, including the transport document (usually the bill of lading), and shipping documents, including drafts out, complete with a single bill to pay the exporter bank (remitting bank), entrusted by branch or agency of import (the collecting bank) to the importer to receive payment.
B. collection is based on the type of collection is included with the shipping documents, divided into a documentary collection and clean collection.
used in international trade, mostly with a single collection. Documentary collection, there are two pay a single method: payment and Acceptance.
a. payment (D / P). Exporter in the commission receivables at the bank, to instruct the Bank only in the payer (the importer) are paid only when the shipping documents to their hand, that is to pay a single payment for the condition, known as payment.
money on the time of payment can be divided into immediate and long-term payment. Immediate payment (D / P Sight), the exporter after delivery by the date stipulated in the contract, draft at sight (or not, draw) with a full set of shipping documents, commissioned prompted banks to importers, importer sight (and documents) immediately after payment. Banks are paid after the surrender of their shipping documents. Forward payment (D / P after Sight), the exporter after delivery by the date stipulated in the contract,
belstaff leather, issued a full set of shipping documents, together with long-term bill, commissioned bank to the importer suggested that the importer after the bill is correct single trial Deck against, are paid at the maturity date, and then obtain the shipping documents from the bank.
forward payment and payment by delivery of single condition is the same: the buyer can not obtain on behalf of non-payment to document ownership of the goods, so the responsibility for the risk the seller is basically unchanged.
forward payment is the seller give the buyer's financing, factoring the length of time depends on the bill payment period, usually means there are two deadlines: one is the payment date and arrival date is consistent. The buyer after the payment, you can take delivery. The other is the date of payment to be delayed than arrival date many. The buyer must agree to the request by the collecting bank trust receipts (T / R) to borrow the shipping documents in order to first delivery.
so-called trust receipts, import side, by a single document to provide a guarantee that they would pick up the goods on behalf of the bank trustee, customs clearance, warehousing, insurance, sale, and to recognize the ownership of goods remain with banks. After the sale proceeds of the purchase price of goods should be handed to the bank when the draft is due. Collecting bank, if agreed to by a single importer, can not recover the money in case the maturity, the collecting bank should bear the responsibility to repay loans. But sometimes take the initiative to authorize the exporter by the collecting bank loan trust receipt documents to the importer. This approach will be the exporter for the refusal of the draft is due to bear the risk has nothing to do with the collecting bank, called the payment, receipt by the Trust by single (D / P, T / R). In essence, this is not the \
b. Against Acceptance (D / A). Against acceptance that the goods shipped, the exporter issuing long-term bills of exchange, bank entrusted with the collection of shipping documents, and clear instructions to banks, the importer in the bill immediately after acceptance to be receiving a full set of shipping documents and then pay the bill due date payment.
against acceptance and the above mentioned \ Once the buyer due non-payment, to facilitate exports of goods may be two empty silver. Thus, exporters who strictly control the use of such means attitude.
C. Use of the collection
collection method more favorable to the buyer, low cost, risk,
belstaff uk, financial burden is small, or even obtain seller financing. The seller, even if a payment method, because the goods have been shipped, if the other party or financial condition due to low market prices and other reasons poor non-payment, the seller will suffer loss and round trip transportation costs of goods for resale loss. Forward payment and documents against acceptance, the seller to bear the financial burden is heavy, and against acceptance at risk. Collection is the seller give the buyer a certain preferential payment. The seller, it is a means to promote sales, but one must be cautious about the risks.
way of China's foreign trade enterprises to export collection, the main payment method used, and should focus on consideration of three factors: commodity market conditions, the creditworthiness of the importer that management style and financial situation and the transaction amount corresponding. Of particular importance is the commodity market conditions. Because of low market prices are often caused by poor business management style main drivers of non-payment. The case of strong market prices, less likely to protest, and even protest, we dispose of the goods is also more convenient. I do not normally accept foreign trade enterprises pay a single way of exports.
