word illegible

Post by ucp800 » Thu Aug 05, 2010 7:18 pm

Dear Expert,

May I ask for your opinion of the following :

B/L showing name of agent :
Seaswift Shipping Agencies Sdn Bhd.

The alphabet “Sea” of the word “Seaswift” is illegible.

Is it a valid discrepancy to refuse documents citing such discrepancy?

Is there any ICC comment on this issue?


Please comment.

Thank you for your assistance.

Regards,
ucp800

i think its not that much illegible as you could read "sea". ;) a illegible words; in my opinion this is a type of thing that you are unable to examine. so the possible impact is similar to some required document / statement which is not presented. to be safe, you may raise a refusal.
