L/C Trouble!
Post 1 of 15

I am caring a big contract related to the payment term by tranferrable LC:

1. Payment term:

- 30% of total value of contract by TTr as deposit

- 70% balance of total value of contract by irrevocable transferrable LC. And LC payment shall be divided into 02 lots:

+ 65% of 70% of total value contract shall be paid against the shipping document

+ 5% remaining of 70% of total value contract shall be paid after sign the final acceptance certificate

Hereby, I would like to call the Buyer 1 who is received LC first, and the Buyer 2 who is transferred LC from the Buyer 1.

1. I paid 30% of total value of contract by TTr into Buyer 1's account

2. 65% of 70% of total value contract is transferred into the Buyer 2's bank from my bank after the Buyer 1 transfer my LC for him.

And now Buyer 1 is requiring me to make the payment 5% remaining of 70% of total value contract into the Buyer 1's account after sign the final acceptance certificate. However I am facing this problem here.

How can I make this payment for the Buyer 1? because he transferred my LC for the Buyer 2 and this payment is belonged to LC. Right? And now please help me and give me some good advices in order to I can make the last payment for the Buyer 1. And what's wrong if I implement the last payment for the Buyer 1? Buyer 2 will claim me or not?

Thanks for your advices

Dear Sir,

From what I understood from your text, you are the Buyer, you are giving L/C to your Supplier who is transferring the L/C to another sub-supplier. According to my view there is nothing wrong in transferring your 5% to your Supplier (to whom the L/C was first given). BUT please take this issue to your bankers and they will give you the right answer.

Take care!

Hi,  in my opinion, you purchase the products directly from Buyer 1, and Buyer 1 transferred the LC to Buyer 2,  suppose the bank information in the L/C is belong to buyer 1, you just need to pay Buyer 1, and don't need to consider about Buyer 2. T

he relationship is as below:

You---------------Buyer 1-----------------Buyer 2.

Thanks for your advices

as to L/C ,if the buyer had transfered total value to buyer 2 .you should pay for buyer 2  total value of L/C .

if the buyer 1 just transfer partial transfer to buyer 2 , you should pay for the partial value to buyer 2 .the rest value should pay for buyer 1 .but the buyer 2 undertake the delievery of goods ,buyer  1 also undertake all responsibility of L/C .

You should know how much  value is transfered by buyer 1 which should have advice of transfer in back  or the letter of personal transfer between with buyer 1and 2    .

From your artical ,i think buyer 1 had adopt the partial  transfer ,that's to say ,the 65% value is belong to buyer 2, the 5% belong to buyer 1 .

it's right  for buyer 1 .
