Malaysian Import Export Customs Documentation
No goods can be removed from customs control unless with the permission from the proper officer of customs. Proper officer or customs means the officer of customs specially or specifically assigned to perform a specific or particular function.

A confirmed, irrevocable letter of credit, means that the exporter's bank undertakes to pay the importer, should the foreign bank fail to do so. The exporter's bank may be reluctant to confirm a letter of credit if it has any doubt as to the trustworthiness of the foreign bank or the possibility that foreign exchange controls may prevent the conversion of the importer's currency into the desired foreign currency. In such a case, it may refuse confirmation unless the full amount of the funds is transferred to it right away from the foreign bank. Whatever the case, the exporter's bank will charge for such a service.

By stipulation that the foreign importer arranges for a confirmed irrevocable letter of credit, the exporter knows that if he ships the goods as agreed, he will have the foreign bank's assurance of payment as well as the assurance of his own bank.
