This document is needed for the first step to do the Export-Import business. The exporter will send this document (Buyer and seller agreement/proforma invoice/sales invoice) to Importer.

1.Agreement/proforma invoice

2.Application

3.Trade Licence

4.Tin

5.VAT

6.IRC

7.Insurance

Step-3:

If my local bank(example: Dutch Bangla Bank) accepts the application they(Bank) will send the LC to the Exporter's Bank.


Step-4:

Confirmed Letter of Credit:

A confirmation letter will go to the exporter's Bank that is the exporter's local bank will confirm the exporter about the document.

Document:

the exporter's bank will send these documents(step-6) to the importer's bank.

If we are importers we will provide all our documents that we will get from our bank to the C and F agent to have our products. C and F agents will solve all the procedures(custom and so on) after that.
