Seed Letter of Credit Financing
A confirmed letter of credit is still the most accepted instrument for international seed sourcing — particularly when buyer and breeder have no prior trading history. SeedMatchGroup helps buyers structure LC-backed orders that breeders will accept.
When an LC makes sense
First-time orders above USD 25,000, cross-border deals between buyer and breeder with no prior history, and any transaction where the breeder requires confirmation from an acceptable bank.
Documents typical LC requires
Commercial invoice, phytosanitary certificate, certificate of origin, packing list, bill of lading or air waybill, and ISTA seed analysis where applicable.
