A red clause LC is a documentary credit with a special clause authorizing the advising bank to make an advance payment to the seller against a simple receipt (unsecured loan) or against an advance payment guarantee confirmed by the advising bank (secured loan) in case the seller failed to deliver/ship.

This type of LC is common in the world of contracting where a lot of subcontract works takes place + or importing special tailored types of machinery where the manufacturer requests advance payment at sight to initiate the work.
