Terms allow this type of credits, the bank receives the amount of shipping documents, accompanied with a bill of exchange drawn by the beneficiary importer "student to open the credit", and have to pay this bill either when found, or after a certain period of passage.

Sir I just want to add bills of exchange can also be endoresed to creditors. It can be used as cash for payments thogh there is a trust element envolved. The original owner of the bills payable has to honour the bill.
