Letters/documents used when dealing with international trading called "letters of credit"

With letters of credit you can export?import goods safe in the knowledge that you will receive payment. This is because Export Letters of Credit provide a commitment given by the buyer's bank to you that they will pay on behalf of their client. For a transaction to be successful, shipping documents must be presented according to conditions pre-agreed with your buyer.

You will need to ask your buyer to set up a Letter of Credit via their bank.

Document issued by logis. co setting forth applicable rules, rates & charges for movement of goods

A set-up letter is probably a document issued by logistics company setting forth applicable rules, rates & charges for movement of goods.

It sets up a "contract of carriage" between the parties involved, viz. the shipper, consignee, and logistics company.
