Important Elements in IBT
• Irrevocable decision• Documents to be presented• Contracts of Sale (why do we need COS?)• The concept of “order” and “request”• Import Transaction• Export Transaction
Docs To be Presented• Letters of credit are used primarily in int. trade for transactions between a supplier in one country & a purchaser in another. Most letters of credit are governed by rules promote by the Int. Chamber of Commerce known as Uniform Customs & Practice for Documentary Credits.
Why do we need COS?• A contract of sale is a legal contract an exchange of goods, services or property to be exchanged from seller to buyer for an agreed upon value in money paid or the promise to pay same. It is a specific type of legal contract.
The concept of “order” and “request”
Import or Export Transaction• An import or export transaction is
by definition a contractual exchange between parties in two countries that may have different legal systems, currencies, languages, religions or units of measure• All contracts should include
definitions and specifications for the quality, grade, quantity, and price of the goods in question
Typical types of documents in such contracts include:
• Financial Documents — Bill of Exchange, co-accepted draft
• Commercial Documents — Invoice, packing list• Shipping Documents — Transport document,
insurance certificate, commercial, official or legal documents
• Official Documents — License, embassy legalization, origin certificate, inspection certificate.
• Transport Documents — Bill of lading (ocean or multi-modal or charter party), airway bill, lorry/truck receipt, railway receipt.
• Insurance documents — Insurance policy, or certificate but not a cover note.
The Transaction’s Dilemma• International trade (i.e. between and importer and
exporter) must work around a fundamental dilemma:• They live far apart• They speak different languages• They operate in different political environments• They have different religions• They have different standards for honoring obligations
International Transaction Risks
• The following exhibit illustrates the sequence of events in a single export transaction.
• From a financial management perspective, the two primary risks associated with an international trade transaction are currency risk (currency denomination of payment) and risk of non-completion (timely and complete payment).
• The risk of default on the part of the importer is present as soon as the financing period begins.
