Can the Beneficiary Be Both Shipper and Agent for the Carrier?

26 Sep 2025

In documentary credit practice, it is not uncommon to see situations where the same party appears in more than one capacity on a bill of lading. A recent reader raised the question whether a seller under an LC (the beneficiary) could also act as the shipper and at the same time sign the bill of lading as agent for the …

When the Shipper is Also the Carrier’s Agent

25 Sep 2025

One of the quirks of transport documents under a letter of credit is that the same party may sometimes wear two hats — appearing as shipper of the goods and also signing the bill of lading as agent for the carrier. Does this raise a red flag under UCP 600? A reader recently asked for clarification. QUESTION Dear Mr. Old …

Sub-article 31(b) UCP 600 – And Why the Same Ship Can Have Multiple Sets of Transport Documents

25 Sep 2025

Intro Sub-article 31(b) of UCP 600 often puzzles practitioners. On the one hand, it explains when multiple transport documents are not to be treated as partial shipments; on the other, it raises the practical question: how can the same ship and the same voyage end up with more than one set of bills of lading? Let’s unpack both sides. QUESTION …

It raises the question: if two containers are shipped under one purchase order, does that mean two complete sets of documents are required? A reader recently wrote in with this exact dilemma. QUESTION Dear Old Man, We have met …

Chinese Port? Hong Kong, Macao, or Kaohsiung?

22 Sep 2025

Intro Letters of credit sometimes use broad geographical terms like “any Chinese port.” That sounds simple, but in practice it raises tricky questions—especially when ports like Hong Kong, Macao, or Kaohsiung are involved. ICC has clarified part of this, but not everything. Here’s how to understand it from an LC practice perspective. QUESTION Dear Mr. Old Man, As far as …

Do Confirming Banks Care About Third-Party References?

20 Sep 2025

Intro In trade finance, one of the most important principles under UCP 600 is that a credit is independent from the underlying contract of sale or any other agreement on which it may be based. Yet, in practice, many credits do contain references to external contracts. A reader recently asked whether such references affect a confirming bank’s willingness to add …
