Copy of transport documents
Posted: Sat Jun 27, 2009 3:44 am
Dear friends,
.
With the request of applicant, we sometimes issue LC with term that original transport documents will accompany the goods and copies will be presented to bank. As per UCP 600 14 and ISBP 20, We know copy of transport documents are not considered as transport documents and UCP600 articles 19-25 not applied. As a document examiner, we change the LC term slightly and require one photocopy from original transport document to be presented to check the document accurately, i.e. signature, date, notations, corrections etc. If we see that the photocopy document not complying according to articles 19-25, can we raise discrepancy? Or by letting original not being presented to bank, do we renounce checking this document?
Regards
