Hi UCP 600, Please take a look to Article 30 b and c UCP600.

If field 39a showing 0/0 that means no minimum and maximum tolerance for amount at all. This ussually followed by another statement on field 47a that quantity and amount hasil no minimum and maximum tolerance.

Ucp article 30 only applied if field 39a is not inserted in LC, so the discrepancy is valid.

Hi Pals,

see Opinion R689, 0/0 in field 39 has no meaning and art 30 c is still applicable.

In my opinion 0/0 means not exceeding either for + and for -.
Therefore a tollerance is not permitted !

Could you pls quote your mentioned opinion? Since mine is that when credit specifically indicates tolerance, Art 30(b) and (c) would not be applied.
Thank you.

Hi, sorry to hi-jack thread, but isn't there a 'given rule' that a +/- 5% tolerance allowed..? , even if no tolerance is stated on field 39 ? ...
anyway...back to original post....you have presented documents for a value which is EUR445.20 lesser than LC amount .....you are still within the "given' 5 % tolerance of the LC amount (32B) .....

Abstract Official Opinion TA618 R689
Conclusion:
By the wording of the SWIFT handbook, the use of "00/00" in field 39A of the SWIFT MT700 has no effect on the amount that can be drawn under the credit: The completion of figures within this field are to denote the plus and/or minus percentage to be applied to the credit amount: Any drawing under the credit would still be subject to the allowances made in UCP 500 sub-article 39(b) or (c),
depending on the pterms of the credit and the underlying drawing. A drawing of up to 5% less in the credit amount would be allowed under the credit.(UCP 600 art 30 has not changed the meaning).
Other comments appreciated

Thank you for your information Mr picant, I really appreciate it.

IMHO, I conclude that if the LC itself only state field 39A as 0/0 and no other clause mentioned in field 47A regarding the tolerance it means UCP 600 article 30b is applicable, but if field 47A mentioned that tolerance for quantity and amount is prohibited, then field 30b is not applicable

please correct me if Im wrong.
