Hi Pal,

I undestood that the documents have been sent to a different collecting bank, so you could instruct it to pass the documents to another bank immediately, with some costs. If the goods have already arrived at destination, to avoid demurrage costs, may be is necessary to issue a bank guarantee for no presentation of the original bill of lading. I think a cooperation of the parties involved will be necessary to settle the matter soon.
So contact other parties and act consequently.
Let us know.
Ciao

Hi Asif

If there is an established business between parties you might be able to sort it out. It sounds a mistake which anyone in the sector could face. Please write again about the matter. That will be a good experience as learners like me.
