The Most Dangerous Combinations
Seller bears full cargo risk for 90 days while payment remains outstanding. If the buyer defaults, the seller has already paid freight and insurance with no recourse.
Seller must clear import customs but can't control delays in the buyer's country. Customs holds can void the LC's validity period, leaving the seller unpaid.
Buyer must clear export customs in the seller's country. Most new buyers can't do this. The shipment gets stuck, and the seller still bears reputational risk.
