Hi, I understand that this is beyond the scope of letter of credit as per UCP.
However, solution to this issue will vary depending on countries invloved (i.e. Customs and exchange control policies) and relationship between the buyer and seller (like, whether under same ownership, long business relationship) and, of course, nature of the event (fraud case or damage during shipment or production issue etc.)
In a simple case, seller may send another invoice with correct shipped quantity and remit the additional fund back to buyer's bank as seller not willing to ship further.
If it is an insurance event, pls arrange to claim as per due process.
If it is an temporary production capacity issue or availabily issue, seller may arrange third party shipment/sourcing of the same goods to the buyer to cover the short shipment.
Depending on the exchange control policies of the concerned countries, the issue may also be solved by issuing a debit note by the buyer.
Looking forward comments from others.
