Bill Of Lading Indicated Different 2 LC Numbers

[Jin]

Dear expert,

Bill of lading indicated different 2 LC numbers which issued by same bank with the identical conditions ( ie. same applicant and beneficiary terms of conditions etc.) but only quantity of good in description are different. Both Shipping documents presented at the same time and same bill of lading ( as bill of lading number are same) presented for each shipping documents respectively.
When it comes to check the one of shipping documents, we may conclude it is not compliant as per UCP art. d. data in documents must not conflict with other stipulated documents or credit as quantity in bill of lading over quantity in packing list as 2 LC shipped on board in one bill of lading.
But, both shipping documents presented at the same time, bank has known the sum of quantity in 2 packing list are the same with presented bill of lading, also bill of lading says so.
In this case, issuing bank can refuse to pay?

thank you and B. regards,
Jin

Hi Pal,

I had the same problem with an AWB, that due to airfreight costs gathered two shipments covered by different lc.
The confirming bank refused to pay and sent documents to issuing bank, under our authorization.
Issuing bank contacted applicant and paid in few days.
The problem lies in the fact that issuing bank could refuse to pay, if applicant lost its credit worthness!!!
So avoid to act in this way.
Other comments appreciated
