Latest Question

An issuing bank issued a letter of credit that omitted the country of origin. The advising bank subsequently requested clarification from the issuing bank. In response, the issuing bank transmitted an MT799 message stating: "Please read country of origin as UAE under field 45A." This SWIFT notification was duly forwarded to the beneficiary. The beneficiary has now presented documents. However, the commercial invoice omits the country of origin within the goods description section. Given that the country of origin was received via MT799 in response to the advising bank's clarification, does the omission of this information on the commercial invoice constitute a valid discrepancy?
