Hi,
Recently one reputed German chemical manufacturer(beneficiary) ask us(the applicant) "Add Confirmation" in the L/C. When we refuse to do that they ask for "clause 49 should be changed to MAY ADD". My question is there any such thing "May Add-confirmation" does legally exist according to UCP -600 or any ICC regulations.

YES it is possible.

In practice it is possible. In such majority situations beneficiary pays all charges related to confirmation.
Basically issuing bank gives Nom.Bank option to confirm the LC if bene asks them to do so. Swift program also identifies such input: May add.

thank u guy
