DLC PAYMENTS:END BUYER BUYING FROM FTNX(PCT)
All payments for purchase of goods from FTNX (PCT) are conducted as per ICC UCP banking rules
All delivery terms attached to the DLC follow ICC Incoterms rules in the matter of expenses.
NO SLC/SLBC allowed for payment of goods purchased from FTNX which is an incorrect and risk laden (very risky for the end buyer) instrument for the nature of business being conducted.All Payments are by DLC ( this is the correct instrument) as advised from a top 200 ranked bank of the world, otherwise the DLC must be confirmed. NOTE: Until further notice all DLC’s from China MUST be issued as confirmed (as from the I July 2022), as confirmed by another bank outside China not bearing sanctions with USA. Also note a buyer cannot buy goods from FTNX if they are un-able to apply payment via SWIFT. Buyers from countries bearing sanctions with USA, UK, Canada and or Australia will not be entertained as a matter of law. All goods are sold at sight of statutory documents in accordance with Incoterms rules used in matters of expenses. A DLC will be collected upon when all the required documents have been delivered complying as per ICC UCP rules and URC collection rules as it relates to clean presentation. FTNX uses the rules and laws of commerce and International Trade a strictly applied manner to ensure all the features and added securities related to the financial instrument remain intact. An end buyer who is unable to advise a DLC, 30 days before first delivery or more ( as per contract) should not contact FTNX to purchase or source wanted goods. FTNX is a Professional Commodity Trader (PCT) and leading educator world wide. We do not own the goods we sell.FTNX is not an ill-informed intermediary, but a buyer of export ready goods from a secured supplier and seller of all secured export ready goods to ONLY the end buyers we deal with. FTNX is not legally obligated to discloses such entities as a condition of doing business, as such FTNX is acting as a buyer or seller on belief of undisclosed principals .FTNX also bears consequences and liabilities of its own actions.. As it applies to FTNX so does it apply to all USCT members conducting similar business as endorsed under TRIBE Rules of Association.(TRA)A. DLC cannot be used as cash or security and carries no worth to the PCT unless all the required terms and conditions of the credit have been met to which the DLC then becomes valuable as it applies to a PCT. Such aspect applies to a bank advising a DLC in that - A bank under UCP rules will not accept a DLC as security on a back to back transaction.

(C) Irrevocable Documentary Letter of Credit.

EXW, DAP or DAT delivery terms are not considered by a PCT as securing the required documents for presentation is not possible.CPT is used for valuable commodities such as scrap gold.All other delivery modes under ICC Incoterms considered. Please note the term ‘delivery’ as defined under Incoterms means delivery of clean transport documents and not physical delivery of goods.
Some end buyers leaving an established supplier (and lax procedures therein), have the misconception that a seller or supplier will apply expense of exporting goods, and loading a ship and sending a ship to another country where goods are unloaded before payment is eventuated as per a past association. No informed supplier with a sound mind will apply such a process unless there is a payment instrument supporting the D/P transaction as serviced once the contract is signed. A end buyer wanting to take goods from ship POL and sell such goods, then pay for the goods must still initiate a financial instrument when the contract is signed-with a deferred payment (D/P) aspect. If the end buyer is unable to sell goods and earn a GP , payment must still be ensured by its bank when the deferred period expiration date has arrived.
A buyer rather than an end buyer wanting to buy goods from a PCT must be able to issue a fresh DLC which is transferable in where the goods will not be endorsed on the BOL under the ‘Notify party ’aspect .The Buyer may now sell such goods to another party or end buyer. Under this aspect the PCT must ship the goods to the country of the buyer and not to the client of the buyer.
No back to back transaction are allowed nor supported by banks when applying the virtues of a UCP endorsed DLC.
Bank will not accepts a DLC advised form a bank located in a country bearing sanctions with USA or other countries. A PCT could end up being charged with a criminal offence if they trade with a country bearing sanctions if the country the PCT is situated in has effected such sanctions.
A belligerent China must now issue payments as confirmed by another bank.
