Description

Export billing system

This new type is related to an export billing system.

In international trade, importers (buyers) and exporters (sellers) may not know each other. Therefore, one of the main concerns of importers and exporters when trading is whether the payment can be delivered. It is customary to use “credits” in international trade to transfer trading risk to individuals who are more likely to deal with risk, ie banks. The so-called "credit" is a bank guarantee that cannot be cancelled.

Please refer to FIG. 1 , which is a flow chart of international trade in the use of letters of credit for an embodiment. In this embodiment, the importer and the exporter are located in different countries, and the open bank is one of the banks of the importer's country, and the billing bank is another bank in the exporter's country.

First, the importer and exporter reached an agreement to set up a contract for the sale and purchase of goods (double arrow 1). The importer then applies to the open bank for a letter of credit (arrow 2). The open bank opens a letter of credit to the bank (arrow 3). Next, the bank will inform the exporter of the fact that the letter of credit has been issued and inform the exporter to prepare the relevant documents to collect the payment (arrow 4). Upon receipt of the notification, the exporter ships the goods and ships them to the importer's country (arrow 5). After the goods are shipped to the importer's country, the exporter prepares the relevant information for the exchange to the bank to receive the payment (arrow 6). After confirming that the documents are complete and correct, the bank will allocate funds to the exporter (arrow 7). Next, the bank will send documents such as relevant documents and proof of payment to the open bank (arrow 8). The open bank then prompts the importer with the above documents and delivers the bill of lading (arrow 9). The importer pays the open bank (arrow 10) and presents the bill of lading to the customs to extract the goods. Finally, the open bank accepts the payment to the bank (arrow 11) to complete the international trade of this embodiment.

As one of the duties of the bank, it is required to send the bill to the open bank after the relevant information of the bill is ready and correct. However, in the existing way, the exporter, the bank, the open bank or the importer cannot immediately know the situation of the delivery company or the importer's receipt. As a result, importers cannot plan, arrange financing lines, payment flows, and deliver cargo flows as early as possible. The bank can not track the amount of funds received and arrange for the settlement of accounts.

It can be seen that the above existing methods obviously have inconveniences and defects, and need to be improved. In order to solve the above problems, the relevant fields have not tried their best to find a solution, but for a long time, no suitable solution has been developed.

One aspect of the present invention provides an export billing system. The export billing system includes a handler host and a processing host. The operator host is used to enter one of the exporters to exchange relevant information. Processing host includes a storage A device, a processor and a transmission device. The processor is electrically connected to the storage device and the transmission device. The storage device stores a message transfer program. The transmission device is configured to establish a first communication link with the operator host to receive the bill related data. When the processing host receives the billing related data, the processor executes a message transmitting program to notify a courier company to pick up and deliver the service.

In an embodiment, the storage device further stores a database for storing one of the express mails returned by the courier company.

In one embodiment, the number of the courier mail is received by the transmission device.

In one embodiment, when the transmitting device receives the number of the courier mail, the processor executes a message transfer program to notify the exporter.

In one embodiment, the processor enters a status of the express mail according to the number of the express mail and stores it in the database.

In an embodiment, the exit billing system further includes an external host. The external host is set up to establish a second communication link with the transmission device.

In one embodiment, the external host is one of the exporter's mainframes, one of the importers' hosts, or one of the open banks, so that the exporter, the importer, or the open bank can check the status of the express mail.

In an embodiment, the storage device further stores a database. The database is used to store an open bank return date of one of the importers to pick up the bill of lading.
