Parties Involved The opener （buyer，applicant， principal， accountee，accreditor， for/on account of，at the request of，on behalf of，by order of）:the person who asks a bank to open a letter of credit The opening bank （the issuing， opening， establishing bank）:the bank in the importer’s country issuing the letter of credit at the request of the importer The advising bank （notifying bank）:the bank in the exporter’s country which advises the exporter of the establishment of letter of credit The drawer （seller，exporter）:the person who sells the goods and draws a draft on the opening bank or the buyer The drawee （buyer，importer）:the person，usually the buyer，on whom a draft is drawn，is responsible for making payment when the draft falls due The negotiating bank: the bank that pays or accepts the draft presented by the exporter The reimbursing bank: normally the issuing bank itself that repays the negotiating bank for the money given in advance by the latter. In some cases，it may be its reimbursing agent in a third country The beneficiary（in favour of，in one’s favour）:the party in whose favor the letter of credit is issued，in other words，the person who is entitled to draw a draft and receive the payment of the shipment 2. Urging Establishment of L/C When a transaction is concluded，the buyer，as a rule，is under obligation to establish a letter of credit with his bank within the time stipulated in the sales contract （confirmation）. Messages urging establishment of letter of credit must be written with tact. Their aim is to persuade the buyer to co-operate more closely and in fact to fulfil his obligations；otherwise they will give offence to the buyer and bring about unhappy consequences. 3. L/C Amendment and Extension Not only can the seller ask for amendment to an L/C，the buyer can likewise ask for amendment if he finds something in the L/C needs to be altered. The usual procedure is that the buyer should first obtain consent from the seller and then instruct the opening bank to amend the L/C. Besides the date of shipment，which is usually stipulated in the L/C，every L/C has its expiry date. In order to leave sufficient time to the seller to make out the shipping documents and the bank to make their negotiation，the date of shipment and the expiry date of the L/C should be made at least two weeks apart.
