LC Practice Insight: “Any Port in Vietnam” & Understanding ISBP 821 B2(e)(i)

25 Nov 2025

Alfred recently raised two excellent questions on port flexibility in LCs and the meaning of multiple on-board dates under ISBP. Here is a quick breakdown for practitioners: “Any port in Vietnam” — one port or multiple? When an LC states “shipment from any port in Vietnam”, the BL must show one specific port of loading (e.g., Hai Phong Port). It …

When Four Routing Fields Appear… but the LC Still Asks for an AWB

25 Nov 2025

Every now and then, Mr. Old Man receives a question that quietly whispers: “Somebody drafted this LC on a Friday afternoon…” Today’s case is one of those — when the LC includes all four routing fields (44A, 44E, 44F, 44B) but still requires an Air Waybill. Let’s untangle the knot. QUESTION Dear Sir, Under airfreight with EXW – Seller’s Factory …

Feeder Vs. Ocean Vessel: Which One Must the On Board Notation Indicate?

24 Nov 2025

Intro Under a port-to-port LC (fields 44E and 44F), the bank expects a marine bill of lading that evidences shipment on board the ocean-going vessel performing the voyage from the stated port of loading to the stated port of discharge. In practice, many BLs also show a pre-carriage or feeder vessel, and this sometimes leads to an on-board notation being …

Can the Issuing Bank Refuse Based on the Applicant’s ‘Late Sailing’ Investigation?

24 Nov 2025

INTRO Every now and then, Mr. Old Man receives a question that perfectly illustrates how easily a clean, compliant LC presentation can get tangled when buyers panic—usually when prices fall. And very often, someone in the chain suddenly “investigates” and claims the vessel sailed late… even though the Bill of Lading says otherwise. So here’s a real case from India …

TOLERANCE — UNDERSTANDING SUB-ARTICLE 30(c)

22 Nov 2025

INTRO Understanding sub-article 30(c) of UCP 600 can be tricky, especially when an LC specifies a fixed quantity and unit price. Many practitioners wonder how the credit amount can be reduced without causing a discrepancy. In this Q&A, Mr. Old Man clarifies the purpose of the 5% tolerance rule and illustrates it with a practical CIF example. QUESTION Dear Mr. …
