Mr Old Man Payment Q&A WHERE MT 700 DOES NOT CONTAIN FIELD 43P By Mr Old Man Posted on July 14, 2024 1 min read 0 0 610 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr 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
