Technically the fact that an SBLC has been issued one could say its "operative" however its the verbiage which makes it non operative until something happens.

Confused you will be, ok say you were entering into a contract for a fixed period of 12 months and the supplier asked you for a BG or SBLC for the last month of the contract as a guarantee should you fail to make a payment on the due date of the whole contract.

The verbiage you include in the instrument is the trigger for payment, in other words you may say if the buyer fails to pay for the product supplied within 7 days of receiving proof of supply by means of a dhl tracking number then the supplier can claim that amount from the sblc in other words activates the instrument and gets paid.

To make this an active instrument / guarantee you will need to place in a bank with the wording that when we are sent proof of product a b c and d documents this instrument is activated and if a b c or d happens the supplier can draw against the instrument.

People who say their bank needs to see proof of product before they will issue the financial instrument either don't have the funds or they are trying to back to back the contract and will have issues in payment on a week by week basis.
