Mixed Payment Documentary Collection & Agent's Commission

Simple is Beautiful; the only thing came in my mind when thought of documentary collection. And I think more and more people are thinking the same in these days. Documentary Collection offers us far greater security than selling on open account; but not as much as a documentary credit. We should therefore be more cautious before starting selling using this method of payment. Documentary Collection Forum is an effort to help you on this way – admin; besttradesolution.com

Hi Pal,

IMHO, the remitting bank must give clear instructions; agent's commission could be paid on first partial payment or pro rata depending if the agent is responsible for the payment too, so called "Del credere".
Other comments appreciated
Ciao
