It's all about getting paid. What's the point of entering into a sales agreement—domestic or international—if the buyer doesn't pay the seller and either party walks away unhappy? This seminar teaches you how to make a sale that guarantees the seller gets paid and the buyer gets the help he or she needs to finance the deal.


Learn to fully comply with Letters of Credit requirements. Get involved in the set-up process, learn the basic terminology and significance of various documents, and learn how to prevent and handle discrepancies. Learn how to insure that you receive payment for your shipments, how to get paid faster, and how to lower bank fees.


If you take this seminar, you will learn how to:


  • Select the most appropriate method of payment for the importer and exporter.
  • Compare the cost and risks of the various letter of credit options.
  • Open a letter of credit and get paid under its terms.
  • Limit discrepancies under a letter of credit and resolve any disputes that may occur.
  • Analyze and choose alternative methods of financing international transactions.


Come to this one-day seminar armed with your questions. Small class sizes and a knowledgeable teacher allow for a great interaction between attendees and the instructor. Attendees take home the Letters of Credit in International Trade reference book filled with sample letters of credit, the UCP 600, and other important reference materials that will make your job easier. Seminar registrations received less than 5 business days prior to the class date will need to pay for expediting class material (provide FedEx account number).
