Negotiating is the process of getting the best terms once the other side starts to act on their interest.

The documents presented under a documentary credit are scrutinized as per the International standards of scrutiny and negotiated if they strictly comply with the LC terms. This is called a clean negotiation. On the other hand if the documents do not comply with the LC terms and discrepancies are found, the negotiating bank may still opt to give value under the LC by paying or incurring a deferred payment obligation as per LC provided the beneficiary undertakes to indemnify the negotiating bank in the event of rejection by the LC opening Bank. This is technically called a payment under reserve. The Reserve will be lifted on acceptance of discrepancies by the LC opening Bank.
All parties dealing with an LC are dealing only with documents not with goods & services.it is exporter's duty to ship the goods as per the LC and submit the documents within the stipulated time for negotiation.
Discounting is a term used for the actual drawing/negotiation that takes place under an Lc (Letter of Credit). The credit conform (accepted) documents/draft are due for deferred payment and the presentor does not want to wait for its funds till maturity date. Whether the LC is transferable or not is of no importance here. The LC itself should be 'discountable' (it is safer to have this in special instructions of the LC terms). The discounting then depends on the parties concerned, and the price for discounting (discounting rate/Libor/Airbor+spread) and the willingness of the bank that should discount. Discount can be performed with or without recourse.
LC stands for Lucent Connectors
Without going into too much detail, Negotiation is the act of the Nominated bank in effecting payment to the beneficiary (in advance of its own receipt of funds from the issuing bank) of the value of the presentation, less an amount of deduction by reason of the time element between the early payment date and the expected date of receipt of funds from the issuing bank. An LC available by negotiation should not allow for immediate reimbursement (e.g authority to debit issuing bank's account, or claiming reimbursement from third party), and would require the nominated negotiating bank to first pay (or commit to pay at a future date) from its own funds and receive reimbursement only after the issuing bank has received the documents and have found them to be in order. In the event that it has commited to pay at a future date, to constitute an act of negotiation, such date must be earlier than the expected date of reimbursement from the issuing bank On the other hand, under an LC available by Payment, the nominated bank does not advance its own funds, but pays only after it is in a position to either debit the issuing bank's account in its books, or has received reimbursement by claiming on a nominated reimbursing bank.

An import LC is one made with reference to the buyer but with an export LC, the LC is changed to that with reference to the Issuing bank. This gives a stronger guarantee of payment to the seller.
LC is Letter of credit
