Invoice Doesnt Show All Profoma Invoice No As Shown In LC

[thuyvan]

I am writting to seek your opinions for my matter below:

LC stipulates:

Field 45A:

100,000 kg frozen pangasius fillet, welltrimed, skinless, boneless, red meat off, fat off, belly off-size 140/180gr-packed IQF, 10 kgs bulk pack/carton.

As per description in the proforma invoice nos. 078.11/SVN.2000, 078.12/SVN.2000, 078.13/SVN.2000, 078.14/SVN.2000, 078.15/SVN.2000 AND 078.16/SVN.2000

Field 46A:

(Among other required documents)

Three originals plus three copies of signed commercial invoice, containing complete description of goods as per field 45A

Field 43P: Partial shipment allowed

Commercial invoice presented including detailed description of goods and containing “as per description in the proforma invoice No. ” 078.11/SVN.2000” (emphasize : inv shows 1 proforma invoice No. only)

Issuing bank raised discrepancy: "Invoice not show all profoma invoice no. as indicated in F45A."

Question: Whether the a/m discrepancy is valid or not?

Best regards,
Thuyvan

HY,

IMHO it is an valid discrepancy.

Hi Pals,

IMHO, if partial shipments are allowed in the l/c, the invoice may refers to what has been actually shipped, so it may contains reference to one order, pro forma invoice, sales confirmation etc only.
Details must be consistent with those in all documents presented and be a partial shipment.
