Revolving Documentary Credit
Understand repeated availability without treating “revolving” as one universal design.
Purpose
A revolving credit can make an amount available repeatedly for recurring shipments or periods according to its wording.
Cumulative vs non-cumulative
Unused amounts may or may not carry forward depending on the structure. Do not assume.
Time or value based
Reinstatement can depend on time periods, utilisation or other conditions stated in the credit.
Operational complexity
Banks and parties need clear maximum exposure, reinstatement rules and shipment/document schedules.
