Bank guarantee: Contract between a bank as guarantor and a beneficiary in which the bank commits itlf to pay a certain sum under certain, specified conditions. Thus, a demand guarantee is one in which the bank agrees to pay against the simple written demand of the beneficiary.
Barter: The direct exchange of goods and/or rvices for other goods and/or rvices without the u of money and without the involvement of a third party. Barter is an important means of trade with countries using currency that is not readily convertible.
Bill of Exchange : A negotiable instrument that reprents an unconditional demand for payment. Together with the Bill of Lading it forms the basis for the documentary collection procedures and together with the exporter’s commercial invoice it can be ud to charge the importer for the goods. Defined by the Bill of Exchange Act as: ‘An unconditional order in writing, addresd by one person to another, signed by the person giving it requiring the person to whom it is addresd to pay on demand, or at a fixed or determinable future time, a sum certain in money to or to the order of a specified person, or to a bearer.
B/L: A document issued when goods are entrusted to a shipping company for carriage. It can rve as a formal receipt for the goods by the ship owner, a memorandum of the contract of carriage, and documentary evidence of control over the goods. The holder or
consignee of the bill has the right to claim delivery of the goods from the shipping company when they arrive at
the port of destination.
Clean bill of lading： A bill of lading indicating that the goods were received in apparent good order and condition. A clean bill is one which contains no notations of defect, damage or loss, and is signed by the carrier or its authorized reprentative. Note that a clean bill does not have to have any positive affirmation or mention to the effect.
Collecting bank : In a documentary collection, the bank acting as an agent for the ller’s bank in collecting payment or acceptance of a time draft from the buyer to be forwarded to the ller’s bank (the remitting bank).
