Import Letters of Credit (Import LC) are essential financial instruments used in international trade transactions under Malaysian jurisdiction. They are typically used when a Malaysian company needs to import goods from overseas suppliers and wants to provide a secure payment method. The Import LC serves as a bank's guarantee to pay the foreign seller, subject to the presentation of specified documents that comply with the LC terms. This document type is governed by Malaysian banking regulations, particularly the Financial Services Act 2013, and follows international standards set by UCP 600. It includes crucial details such as payment terms, shipping requirements, document requirements, and compliance conditions, while ensuring adherence to Malaysian foreign exchange controls and import regulations.
