Introduction
An exporter, like any other businessman, needs
money to continue operating in business. Since
export business is generally based on credit
terms i.e. the exporter ships the goods and the
payment is realized at a later date, till the period
his funds are blocked. In order to make able the
exporter from the problem of lack of finance the
commercial banks provides finances to him at
two distinct stages
pre-shipment stage
post shipment stage.

It has also been observed that in some cases the availability of raw
material is seasonal whereas the time taken for manufacture and
shipment of goods is more than the delivery schedule mentioned in
expert contract. Besides in many cases an exporter has to procure
raw materials, manufacture the export products, and keep the same
ready for shipment in anticipation of receipt of firm export order or
LC from the overseas buyers.

In certain lines of export it is the trade practice that the bills are not
drawn for the full invoice value of goods but to leave small part
undrawn for payment after adjustment due to difference in rates,
weights, quality etc, to be ascertained after approval and inspection
of goods. Banks do finance against the undrawn balance if such
undrawn balance is in conformity with the normal level of balance left
undrawn in the particular line of export subject to maximum of 10% of
the value of exports and an undertaking is obtained from the exporter
that he will within 6 months from due date of payment or the date of
shipment, whichever is earlier, surrender the balance proceeds of
shipment.
