Three ways to settle.
Letter of Credit, Telegraphic Transfer, and Cash Against Documents — the three payment instruments that fit Egypt → Uzbekistan fresh-produce trade.
For first shipments into Uzbekistan from a new Egyptian counter-party, most Uzbek buyers and their commercial banks default to a confirmed Letter of Credit — usually 90- or 120-day sight, with a confirming European bank. That structure protects both sides while track record is being built and is the instrument we use to onboard most new accounts.
Once a few clean cycles have settled, buyers and exporters typically move to Telegraphic Transfer (T/T) against BL copy, or to Cash Against Documents (CAD) via a collecting bank — both faster and cheaper to operate than an L/C but requiring more trust. Each guide below covers risk profile, document set, bank flow, and the discrepancy patterns Uzbek issuing banks see most often.
