or not a company has a good payment history.
    This form will enable Ex-Im Bank to make a credit decision on a 
foreign buyer credit limit request submitted by a new or existing 
policy holder. Additionally, this form is used by those Ex-Im Bank 
policy holders granted delegated authority to commit the Bank to a 
foreign buyer credit limit.
