QUESTION

Dear Mr. Old Man,

We received a SWIFT MT 700 which does not contain Field 43P (Partial shipments).

I want to know whether partial shipments are allowed or not allowed.

Thank you for your clarification.

Best regards,

PTT

ANSWER

Hi,

Field 43P (partial shipments) specifies whether or not partial shipments are allowed under the LC. This field is to  be completed with one of three codes: “Allowed”, “Conditional” or “Not Allowed”. In the event “Conditional” is used, specific details will be added in Field 47A.

Allowed – Partial shipments are allowed under the LC

Not Allowed – Partial shipments are not allowed under the LC

Conditional – Shipment option depends  on any condition stated in the LC

Since Field 43P is an optional field, and not a mandatory field, it may not be present in MT 700. Where MT 700 does not contain Field 43P, it is understood, based on sub-article 31 (a) UCP 600, that partial shipments are allowed.

Best regards,

Mr. Old Man
