Assignment of proceeds

Hi Lc freaks:D

 

What is Assignment of proceeds and the purpose of it, please give me a clear example?

UCP 600 art 39

Hi Friend,

The L/C beneficiary can instruct the nominated bank, in case of complying presentation and on receipt of L/C proceeds to effec t a payment to someone else, probably his supplier and to give advice to the latter. In my country, a bank having receive such instruction, will inform the assignee, without any engagement from its part. Normally the transaction has a happy end .

Used when the L/C beneficiary has no funds to buy raw material to prepare its supply: Shoe factory that buys heels or upper soles to manufacture shoes, etc.

I think that the assignement has plus or minus enforcement following the local laws.

Other commments appreciated

Regards and  Ciao

 

Agreed

An assignment of proceeds is merely a redirecting of the funds (or part of the funds) to a third party when payment under the LC is made.  Many suppliers will not accept this method as they have no control - the beneficiary must provide credit conforming documents in order for the payment to be made and if they don't then there is nothing to assign as no payment is received.
