Import Services
Facilitate your trade activities with our documentary collection service
Save time and take delivery of your goods quickly and efficiently with our Inward Bill Collection services. We act as your agent, handling the processing of documents and payments to your sellers on your behalf. This is a common payment mechanism for buyers that enables you to focus on building your business.
Documents against Acceptance (DA)
For DA, DBS releases the import documents to the buyer upon his acceptance of the collection transaction to pay on a fixed maturity date.
Documents against Payment (DP)
For DP, DBS releases the import documents to the buyer once he’s paid.

We will send you a payment instruction letter by mail. Simply select “accept” or “do not accept” in the letter and return it to our trade operations team by hand (or by fax if you have signed up for fax indemnity). Alternatively, you can provide payment instructions through IDEAL™.
