them to your bank for payment
Your bank acts on behalf of the exporter's bank to collect payment from you, or a
promise that you will pay at a later date if you have agreed this with your
exporter
A promise to pay usually involves you accepting a Bill of Exchange. Under the
agreement, your bank will not release the shipping documents until payment or
acceptance has been made.
