Goods and Drawee in Different Location

Dear specialists.

I have a question ref. the following case:

I had an export collection in order to be remitted to collecting bank containing the documents:

commercial invoice ( having seller: X and buyer : Y )
b/l ( issued to the order of Y )
certificate of origin ( having consignee : Y )
pack list etc.

Y = buyer was from UAE.

But on the seller's instruction as drawee party was mentioned "Z"( from LEBANON ). So , we as remitting bank had to delivered the documents together with remmitance letter to a bank from LEBANON. and as I said drawee is also from lebanon.

Goods were going to be shipped in UAE.

Is it posible ? which is the flow of documents ? Can anyone explain to me the flow of goods and documents? Which is the role of this drawee from LEBANON = Z ?

Thanks in advance

Wel, its possible. It seems Z is the actual buyer who wants to send the goods to UAE. There could be various reasons. for example Z could be the parent company which is sending some capital machinery to UAE. The only problem I see that the bills of lading are to the order of Y. If Y is in UAE, that means Z will need to send the Bill of Lading to UAE unless one original is already sent to UAE.
