Letter of Credit Usage:
Letter of credit (LOC) is a payment method used in international trade.
Although some exporters view it as a complex, time-consuming, expensive, and stressful, it remains as an essential tool in certain situations.
In some countries such as Bangladesh, Algeria, Egypt, Nepal, Ethiopia, etc., the use of LOC is compulsory either in full or part of their imports.
Therefore, it is impossible to avoid LOC in these circumstances.
Additionally, commercial conditions may also dictate the use of LOC, despite its perceived disadvantages.
