It’s a very special case, isn’t it?C: You know,(承兑交单或付款交单方式付款不适用于你方情况。)S: Why not?C: (只有在每次交易的金额不超过1,000 美元时,我们才可接受付款交单或承兑交单的方式付款。)S: You must be aware that when we open a letter of credit, we have to pay a deposit and there will be bank charges in connection with the establishment of a letter of credit.L: Yes, we know it.S: That will tie up my funds (capital) and add to the cost of my imports.L: You know, Mr. Smith.

We insist on a letter of credit.)S: I heard that you would accept different kinds of payment such as D/A and D/P.L: Quite right, but that all depends on circumstances.C: (It is only under very special circumstances that we agree to other payment terms.)S: I’m a customer of long standing and we have been cooperating well for years. It’s a very special case, isn’t it?C: You know, (D/A or D/P payment is not applicable to your case.)S: Why not?C: (D/P or D/A is applicable only if the amount involved for each transaction is less than $ 1,000.)S: You must be aware that when we open a letter of credit, we have to pay a deposit and there will be bank charges in connection with the establishment of a letter of credit.L: Yes, we know it.S: That will tie up my funds (capital) and add to the cost of my imports.L: You know, Mr. Smith.
