Sefton Netto: Please clarify, post shipment, i get all export documents and these documents are required for the buyer(importer) to import the goods. In this article you have mentioned that export documents has to be handed over to the bank for Post shipment loan availment. In this case how will my buyer pick up goods without BL, Certificate of Origin etc documents if i surrender the documents to bank. In a case of LC opened for 30 days credit and the shipment reaches in 26 days to buyer, the buyer will require these documents to import. Thank you for your response.
