In general terms, it means you only receive payment 60 days after submitted collection/negotiate document to your bank, provided that no discrepancy. Be sure ask for confirmed and irrevocable letter of credit.

Irrevocable at sight letter of credit is the best one for payment terms.But the conditions irrevocable/ revocable & transferable/ confirmed all are defined in L/C terms. At times the buyers open sight L/C with 30,60 and 90days(anyone period) as DA ( documents against acceptance) terms. After accepting the documents for payment in thier Bank ,get the BL(Bill of Lading) for clearing the goods:after the said period they will pay the amount to the Bank. and clear the goods: Take the goods and sell and pay the money.
But in practical session the goods arrives before the said period say 45 days , so the BL is given by the bank after accepting FORM A1 from the Importer as the guarantee for payment

Dear Madam,
As must be known to you that LC (Letter of Credit) is one of the most prominent instrument of payment in international business, wherein by an LC the issuing bank (buyer's bank) is guaranteeing the payment to the beneficiary bank (seller's bank) .
LC 60 days is an instrument wherein the seller allows the buyer a credit of 60 days, normally from the B/L date, to make the payment to the bank. In this case, he can obtain the original shipping document from the bank on his acceptance and can get the physical delivery of the material. The buyer is then suposed to pay for the consignment at a decided maturity date which is 60 days after the B/L Date.
There can be a variety of instruments like this such as LC 30 days, LC 90 days, LC 120 days & LC 180 days. The seller if requires the payment early can get the LC discounted from the bank at the offered interest rates.
