Frequently asked questions

What are some key considerations when preparing documents for presentation?
chevron

It is important to ensure that the wordings in all documentation submitted to the Bank are accurate and consistent to avoid subsequent disputes or discrepancies.

Common documentary discrepancies include
• presentation of documents after LC expiry date,
• shipment of goods made after the stipulated latest shipment date, and
• documents presented after the stipulated presentation period or more than 21 days after the shipment date (if presentation period is not indicated in the LC).

If the seller anticipates that the terms and conditions of the LC may not be fulfilled, he should request the buyer to amend the LC prior to shipment to avoid discrepancies.
