A quick definition of commercial letter of credit:

A commercial letter of credit is a document issued by a bank that promises to pay a third party (the beneficiary) if they meet certain conditions. It is often used in international trade to ensure that the seller gets paid for their goods. The letter of credit is governed by Article 5 of the UCC and can come in different types, such as irrevocable, documentary, or standby. It is important to distinguish it from other contracts and agreements involved in the transaction.

A more thorough explanation:

A commercial letter of credit is a legal document issued by a bank at the request of a customer. It guarantees that the bank will pay a third party (the beneficiary) a certain amount of money if the beneficiary meets specific conditions. This type of letter of credit is commonly used in international trade to ensure that the seller gets paid for their goods or services.

For example, let's say a company in the United States wants to buy goods from a company in China. The U.S. company can ask their bank to issue a commercial letter of credit in favor of the Chinese company. The Chinese company can then ship the goods to the U.S. company, and once the U.S. company receives the goods and confirms that they meet the agreed-upon specifications, the bank will release the payment to the Chinese company.

There are different types of commercial letters of credit, including:

Overall, a commercial letter of credit provides security for both the buyer and the seller in an international trade transaction.
