Letters of Credit for the importation of goods from foreign countries into Canada are frequently required by the supplier to be established in his favor. Sometimes these are for surprisingly small amounts, obviously where the importer is little known to the exporter. Otherwise, ordinary “bill for collection” or “open account procedure” would be followed. Many Canadian importers are therefore familiar with these instruments. The Canadian importer, when faced with such a request, applies to his bank for the facility. As the bank’s undertaking will be replacing that of the importer, the bank will treat this as an application for credit and will give consideration to setting up a “line of credit” in the same way as if it were an application for a loan. If the “line” is granted or has already been arranged, the importer completes an “Application for Commercial Credit” in which he gives full details of the Credit requires. Normally, the Credit will be “irrevocable”, that is, once it has been received by or advised to the beneficiary, it cannot be retracted or changed without the beneficiary’s consent, and the opening bank must meet any drafts presented provided the terms of the Letter of Credit have been complied with.
