1、外贸函电,FOREIGN BUSINESS CORRESPONDENCE,Unit 9 Letter of Credit 信用证,9.1 Introduction(简介),目的:掌握如何申请开立信用证、或对信用证进行修改、延期及相关的回复。 信用证(Letter of Credit)是国际贸易中最常用的支付方式,不仅适用于个别交易,也适用于系列交易。信用证的开证程序始于进口方。进口方通知开证行(Issuing Bank)开立以出口方为受益人(Beneficiary)的信用证。信用证包含进出口双方达成交易的详细内容。信用证开出后,由开证行将信用证寄给出口方所在地的通知行(Notifying Ba
