UNDERSTANDING THE 
LETTER OF CREDIT WHILE 
MOVING 
A LETTER OF CREDIT IS A GUARANTEE OF THE BUYER TO THE SELLER ABOUT THE PAYMENT THAT HAS TO 
BE MADE. THE BASIC STRUCTURE OF THE LETTER OF CREDIT CONSISTS OF FOUR ELEMENTS: APPLICANT 
(THE BUYER OR THE IMPORTER OF GOODS), BENEFICIARY (THE SELLER OR THE EXPORTER), ISSUING 
BANK (LENDS ITS GUARANTEE OR CREDIT TO THE TRANSACTION), AND THE NEGOTIATING BANK 
(BENEFICIARY'S BANK).
THE LETTER OF CREDIT ASSUMES THAT CERTAIN CONDITIONS WOULD BE MET BY THE CLIENT OR THE 
BUYER FOR THE PAYMENT IN QUESTION. THIS THING MAY BE ARRANGED BY THE CUSTOMER (BUYER, 
CLIENT) FOR THE BILL AMOUNT TO THE SELLER (BENEFICIARY; IN THIS CASE, THE TRANSPORT 
COMPANY) FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED. THE PAYMENT IS EXPECTED TO BE MADE ON TIME. IN CASES 
THERE IS A DELAY, THE BANK MAKES THE PAYMENT OF THE BALANCE AMOUNT ON BEHALF OF THE 
BUYER. BANKS COLLECT SOME PERCENTAGE OF THE AMOUNT IN THE TRANSACTION AS A FEE. THIS FEE 
DEPENDS ON THE AMOUNT REQUESTED FOR THE DEAL IN THE LETTER OF CREDIT. THIS IS SIGNIFICANT 
TO NOTE HERE THAT THE SALES AGREEMENT BETWEEN A BUYER AND SELLER IS NOT A PART OF THE 
CREDIT LETTER. THE LETTER OF CREDIT MAY ONLY USE THE INFORMATION IN THE CONTRACT. 
WHAT DOES THE LOC CONTAIN? IT CONTAINS INFORMATION ABOUT THE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE 
BUYER (CLIENT) AND THE SELLER (MOVERS AND PACKERS). THE DEAL INCLUDES CHARGES FOR THE 
MOVE, THE QUANTITY OF THE GOODS TO BE TRANSPORTED AND OTHER MATTERS REGARDING THE TIME 
AND DISTANCE FOR THE SHIFT.
