sentences:  The goods in the air consignment are consigned directly to the party (the consignee) named in the letter of credit (L/C).Unless the goods are consigned to a third party like the issuing bank, the importer can obtain the goods from the carrier at destination without paying the issuing bank or the consignor.Therefore, unless a cash payment has been received by the exporter or the buyer's integrity is unquestionable, consigning goods directly to the importer is risky.
