Foreign Trade Policy transitional arrangements for restricted gold imports may protect bona fide pre-notification transactions even where no irrevocable commercial letter of credit was established. An irrevocable commercial letter of credit secures payment through an independent banking mechanism upon shipping documents, but advance payment exceeding 90% of invoice value may provide the foreign seller with greater security.
