Missing Signature on Air Waybill — Is It a Discrepancy? Let’s Ask UCP 600 Article 23

23 Jul 2025

When it comes to checking transport documents under a letter of credit, sometimes the devil is in the signature box. A common situation arises where the same company acts both as agent for the shipper and the carrier — but only signs in one spot. Does that fly under UCP 600 rules? Or is it grounds for a discrepancy? Let’s …

Nominated But Not Obligated: What UCP 600 Really Expects from Nominated Banks

22 Jul 2025

In the world of Letters of Credit, being nominated doesn’t always mean being obligated. This subtle—but crucial—distinction lies at the heart of how UCP 600 treats the role of the nominated bank. A recent question raised by ICC-certified expert Domenico Del Sorbo highlights this exact nuance: Why doesn’t UCP 600 impose an obligation on a nominated bank—not acting on its …

It’s a question of both procedure and principle. Let’s take …

Why LCs require 1/3 of Original B/L Sent Directly to the Applicant?

20 Jul 2025

Here’s a classic case where trade logistics outpace banking procedures. A reader recently flagged an unusual LC condition: the requirement to courier part of the original bill of lading set — negotiable, no less — directly to the issuing bank within three working days of shipment. Why the rush? And what’s the logic behind splitting up the B/L set this …

Who bears the Risk? When the Applicant Rejects Discrepant Documents After Reimbursement

18 Jul 2025

Our friend TF recently shared an interesting case involving an Iraqi bank, a Jordanian issuing bank, and a confirming bank in the USA.
