信用证付款

 

Pay by Letter of Credit

 

A: Well, we have settled the problems of price, quality and quantity. What mode of payment do you wish to employ?

 

A：好的，我们已经解决了价格、质量和数量问题。你想采用什么样的付款方式？

 

 

B: Irrevocable letter of credit, of course. It is the normal terms of payment in international business.

 

B：当然是不可撤销信用证了。这是国际贸易常用的付款方式。

 

 

A: Could you adopt D/A or D/P? You see, I have to pay a deposit when I open a letter of credit. That will tie up my funds and add to the cost of my imports, especially for such a huge order.

 

A：你们接受承兑交单或者付款交单吗？要知道，开立信用证时必须要交付押金。这会占用我的资金、增加进口成本，尤其是这样一个大单子。

 

 

B: You might consult your bank and see if you could reduce the required deposit to a minimum.

 

B：你也许可以咨询银行看看是否可以把押金减到最少。

 

 

A: Anyhow there would be certain bank charges. We have done business for years and you should have some faith in our credit. It would help me greatly if you could accept D/A or D/P. It makes no difference to you, but it does to me.

 

A：无论如何，银行都会收取一定的费用。我们做了多年生意了，你应该对我们的信用有一些信心。如果你可以接受承兑交单或者付款交单，就会给我极大的帮助。对你来说这没什么区别，但是对我来说就不同了。

 

 

B: Well, as you understand, the irrevocable L/C gives the exports additional protection of the banker’s guarantee. We always ask for L/C for our exports, and the other way around, we pay by L/C for our imports. We only accept L/C for regular orders.

 

B：嗯，如你理解，不可撤销信用证给出口增加了额外的银行信用担保。我们出口一般都要求信用证，另一方面，我们进口也以信用证支付。常规订单都是用信用证支付的。
