Information To Instruct The Advising Bank

[vampiremind]

our privet bank has been informed by the local gov central bank when issuing a L/C to instruct the beneficiary to provide the follwing print on all boxes containg its item:
(confirm that applicant's name , L/CREDITS, product components , their production date which have to be recent, and actual expiry date must be labeled on all carton-boxes containing the items')

my question is on which field to add this clause when issuing the letter of credit on MT 700

thanks

Hi Pal,

I think that the only document that you can require, in field 46, is:
-Beneficiary declaration that all carton-boxes, containing the items, have been labelled with applicant's name, l/credits no. product components, their production date and expiry date(min. 3 mths, 1 years fm date od shipment......).
considering art 34 UCP 600 too.
If necessary an independent agency or a carrier agent may issue a similar declaration to enforce it.
Other comments appreciated. Ciao

thanks for your prompt reply
do you mean that I have to add another item under field 46A requesting the beneficiary to allow this condition to be made when preparing doc's and dispatching the goods
thanks

Hi Pal,

remember that banks check documents but have no liability about the action of seller.
