Import Documentary Collections

Import Documentary Collection means a settlement method that, the exporter/seller entrusts its remitting bank to present commercial documents (bill of lading, invoice, etc.) and financial documents (drafts and etc.) to exporter/seller bank, instructing us as the collecting bank to collect payment from the importer/buyer. Based on how documents are released to drawee, import collection could be classified as DA (i.e.documents against acceptance) and  DP (i.e documents against payment).
