10 Tips for checking Letter of Credit
** Remember : LC is international document, rule apply same for all countries.
I have tried to use minimum technical & legal language, tried to keep simple.
4. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 4
1. Authentication of LC
LC is one of the safe mode of payment.
It is Win-Win payment terms for Buyer & Seller.
Ask your customer to send LC document to your bank.
If you get LC directly by mail, collect original LC from bank.
Get your LC “confirmed” through your bank.
Check Point 21: Documentary credit no. ( LC Number)
Ask them open LC from reputed bank – European / US bank
Check for Point 72 : Advising bank (normally end of LC)
6. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 6
2. Beneficiary /Applicant details.
Check Point : 50 : Applicant
It should be same as your buyer.
If you agreed that the buyer is different than applicant, you will have to mention both name in
invoice. (check multi-party Invoice Presentation)
You need to write exactly same as mentioned in LC (even “, & .” mistake can cost you $50-100
or more penalty.
Beneficiary : This should be seller name.
If you find mistake in name address, ask for LC amendment
Never ignore mistake of even – SPACE OR FULL STOP
7. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 7
3. Currency & Amount
Check for point 32, 32B.
Check for agreed currency and amount you agreed.
Bank will not pay a penny more than this value.
Some time you can negotiate for +/-10% qty or value.
Even mistake if Decimal value – bank can deny to pay.
Incase of discrepancy – ask your Buyer for LC amendment.
Buyer will ask you to process document & assure you, don’t get trapped.
Ask an expert advice and have firm communication.
8. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 8
4. Date of LC, Expiry, Last date of shipment
Bank has no responsibility if the documents is received after Dt of expiry.
Date of LC : Date when buyer actually opened the LC.
Date of Expiry : Bank/buyer has no obligation to pay after this date.
Last date of shipment : This is most mis-understood term.
It means the goods should be OnBoard on or before this Last date of shipment.
Last date of submitting document : Doc. Should reach bank before this date.
Check for 31C, 31D, 44C, also check 48
Normally the document have to be submitted with in 10 days of shipment.
9. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 9
5. Erre-vocable LC (irrevocable)
Check for point : 40A, 40B
Normally it is first few line of the LC document.
40A : should mention word Irrevocable
Irrevocable – means customer can not cancel the LC
The LC will be valid till the expire period of LC.
If Seller supply good & submit document as per terms in LC then bank will have to pay the
money to Seller.
Check Point 49 : Confirmed or Without confirmation.
Confirm LC is best, you can pay some money and can get it confirmed.
10. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 10
6. Finance: Payment available
with
Check point 41 A
This tells you where is the Money.
Buyer deposit money to his bank. This bank transfer money to your bank direct or via interment
bank.
This point tell you where is money : Buyer country, Your country or any 3rd Bank or country.
Needless to say, the money should be in safe hands.
12. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 12
7. Goods Partial shipment / Trans shipment
This is very important point – some time missed by seller.
Check for Point : 43, 43P & 43T
Partial shipment : Allowed (this allows you to send part order in 2 or more lot or just execute
partial order)
Transshipment : Allowed (Many time buyer writes Not Allowed)
Transshipment – allows shipping line to change ship after it leaves from your country. (its better
in to select cheaper shipping line)
13. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 13
8. Handling Port of loading & Discharge
Check point 44, 44F & 44C
Port of loading: You can only ship good from mentioned port.
It is favorable if you get term : Any port in (country name eg. India)
Port of discharge : This specify’s which port the goods will land. This is discretion of buyer.
Your BL and invoice should mention same Port of discharge.
14. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 14
9. Document required
Check point 46
This is longest part of LC document, with many bullet points.
Some time it is difficult to understand so ask an expert.
Your Bank, Forwarder, CHA can also help you understand these point.
This give you clear instruction, Which document? How many copy? Where to send? What care
to take? Who will take insurance? Etc.
Read, Highlight, underline with red pen on receipt of LC.
Do not wait till its time of Dispatch… you will be in trouble.
15. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 15
10. Additional condition :
This is where banks makes the money.
Wondering why you received $500 less than you deserve?
Find for word “Discrepancy Charges “
When bank receive document, they try to find mistakes in your document even “.” “,” spelling
mistake, silly mistake etc.
Bank will raise an alarm “Discrepancy!!” they will inform buyer and your bank – document not as
per LC
This is for the safety of Bank and its Buyer. But it can cost you a lot.
16. vivaanconsultant@gmail.com 16
Conclusion
LC is one of safest mode of payment.
But safety comes at cost.
Your bank will charge you good money for handling LC
Buyers bank will charge his money to open LC
Bank may charge you Discrepancy charges too.
You can check – Credit risk insurance – some time it is cheaper – let us know if you want to
