信用状 (L/C)
輸出入の決済において信用状 (Letter of Credit または L/C) は セラーにとってもバイヤーにとっても コストはそれなりにかかるものの銀行による信用供与が得られることによって 相互にリスクを軽減することができる。セラーは 船積みと同時に輸出代金を確実に回収することができるし、バイヤーは輸入代金を前払いする必要がなくなるというメリットがある。要するに 信用状は 銀行が発行する代金支払いの確約書である。取引の途中で取り消すことのできない確約書という意味で IRREVOCABLE L/C とするのも一般的である。
Rakuten Book

一般的には 貨物を出荷した船会社が出荷した証拠として船荷証券 (Bill of Lading 略して B/L) を発行してセラーに渡すが、これに保険証券や請求書のコピーなどを併せて添付し荷為替手形を通知銀行に提示することで セラーには 確約された額の支払いがなされる。

例文では、Drafts という英語が使われているが それが荷為替手形 (B/L) のことで それを Bill of Exchange と言うこともある。

もう少し詳しいことは L/C による売買契約の例文を ご覧下さい。
