36. Like any other methods of payment, letter of credit is not perfect. It cannot provide absolute security for the contracting parties. The seller may sustain losses because of the buyer’s delay or even failure in the establishment of credit. The buyer may suffer losses as a result of the documents presented by the seller which do not truly represent the goods shipped.

So the letter of credit may not be the most ideal method of payment for a particular transaction, and the contracting parties should make their best choice according to the specific conditions.
