Latest Question

Three invoices presented under one remittance letter related to a credit. Two of those were named commercial invoice and show the general description of goods as per LC and also additional details. Field 45A states: "medical disposables". On the other hand, the 3rd invoice is named "sample invoice" with a specific goods item description and small amount in the currency of the LC but it does not bear the general goods description. It also states "free trade samples of no commercial value USD.... declared for customs purpose only". The remittance letter requests payment of total amount of the other two commercial invoices. But the bill of lading and insurance certificate include those free samples in the quantity. LC does not allow any free sample or spare parts etc. We assume this is a discrepancy. We would appreciate your opinion on the matter.
