What is document consistency and how can we effectively achieve document consistency?

It is currently very common for Chinese enterprises to settle accounts through letters of credit in international trade. Therefore, in their export business, they should strictly adhere to the principle of consistency between documents. After receiving a letter of credit issued by a foreign buyer, they should carefully review the letter of credit to determine whether the provisions of the letter of credit are consistent with the contract, whether there are soft clauses in the letter of credit, and whether the seller has the ability to comply with the various provisions of the letter of credit.

Once any issues are discovered, the buyer should be promptly notified to modify the letter of credit, and no luck should be taken. If it is deemed that there are no issues after the review, the documents should be carefully prepared in accordance with the provisions of the letter of credit, so that they are strictly consistent, in order to avoid adverse situations, take preventive measures, and effectively protect one's rights.
