Copy of Shipping Document received for releasing payment
Posted: Sat Nov 02, 2013 12:40 pm
Dear Expert,
We (Collecting Bank) have received a few of shipping documents under Documentary collection where photocopy of bill of lading submitted and port of loading & port of Discharge are at Hong kong and Pakistan respectively. But the Applicant which is International company and of whose favour the document we received is situated in Bangladesh. That is goods are not shipped at port of Bangladesh but payment will be released from here.
Now, my question is-Is there any problem to make payment from a third country(e.g. Bangladesh) which actually not received the goods.
If copy of shipping Documents sent for documentary collection, As a collecting Bank can we execute the transaction? Is there any minimum checking points in such a document?
Please help to clarify.
