Irrevocable Letter of Credit (LC)

For full container or bulk orders, we require payment via irrevocable LC at sight, issued by a top-tier international bank. This is the gold standard for secure, compliant B2B trade.

  • No advance payment required
  • LC protects both buyer and seller
  • All documentation internationally compliant
  • Pre-shipment inspection available
Note: We accept LCs from all major international banks. Contact us for our full LC requirements and specimen.

What is a Letter of Credit?

A Letter of Credit is a formal financial instrument issued by your bank, guaranteeing that payment will be made to us once all agreed shipment and documentation conditions are fulfilled. It is not merely a payment method — it is a legally binding commitment backed by your banking institution, ensuring complete protection for both the buyer and the seller. For high-value leather hide shipments crossing international borders, it is the most trusted, most used, and most secure trade finance instrument in the world.

We use LC not to complicate the process — but to protect your investment and ours at every stage of the shipment.
