D p at sight什麼意思

"DP at sight" is a term used in international trade and finance, particularly in the context of letters of credit (LC). It stands for "Documents against Payment at Sight."

In a documentary letter of credit, the exporter (seller) is required to present certain documents, such as a commercial invoice, a bill of lading, and a certificate of origin, to the issuing bank or another bank as instructed by the LC. The bank will inspect the documents to ensure they comply with the terms of the LC.

"DP at sight" means that the exporter will receive payment from the bank immediately upon presentation of the compliant documents. The "at sight" part indicates that the payment is made immediately, rather than at a future date or upon the occurrence of a specific event as stipulated in the LC.

This term is favorable for the exporter because they are guaranteed payment as soon as they provide the correct documents, without having to wait for a specific date or condition to be met. For the importer (buyer), it means that they can expect the documents and the ability to take possession of the goods immediately after paying.
