Document against Payment

In purchase, 就要睇你係買方定賣方啦 !
如果你係買家, 人地話做 D/P, 即係話要文件到你BANK度就要即刻俾錢啦 !
DOCUMENTS AGAINST PAYMENT 係指賣方會走貨後即刻做文件, 並且入BANK 送到買家銀行進行收款. 不論貨到與否, 不論貨品有無問題, 文件一到買家銀行, 買家就有責任即時付款.
但係, 因為D/P 始終無涉及到L/C, 只係雙方既AGREEMENT, 所以D/P 仍然會存在收唔到錢既風險架 !
因為, 如果買方唔付款, 而BANK 只係做交收文件作用而已, 所以BANK 係無義務付款架. 只可以等客人付款先得.
所以如果買方唔付款, 你都無佢辦法架 !

DP 是 Documents against Payment : 意思係當買家收到賣家的出口文件, 便要立即付款


DA是 Documents against Acceptance : 意思係買家未俾$$可以先收到賣家的出口文件, 只要賣家同意(中間又涉及一啲文件)
Hope abv can help, tks!

Usually we would say "payment against documents", that means will pay when receiving documents.

that should be to pay immediately upon receipt of documents
