Partial shipments, partial drawings and partial payments are very closely related terms in letters of credit transactions.<\/p>\n

A beneficiary can make partial shipments, if the letter of credit allows partial shipments explicitly; or else it is silent in regards to the partial shipments.<\/p>\n

If a letter of credit disallows partial shipments, this means that the beneficiary can not make any partial shipments under that letter of credit.<\/p>\n

After reading this article, you should understand the connection between partial shipments, partial drawings and partial payments under letters of credit.<\/p>\n

Example:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

A letter of credit has been issued in SWIFT format, subject to UCP latest version, with the following details:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • 32B: Currency Code, Amount<\/strong>
    \nCurrency : USD (US DOLLAR)
    \nAmount : #300.000,00#<\/li>\n
  • Field 43P: Partial Shipments:<\/strong>\u00a0Allowed<\/li>\n
  • Field 43T: Transhipment:<\/strong> Not Allowed<\/li>\n
  • Field 45-A: Description of Goods:<\/strong> 3 Pcs of Olive Oil Processing Machinery<\/li>\n
  • Field 46A: Documents Required:<\/strong>
    \n\u2022 1 original signed commercial invoice and 1 copy.
    \n\u2022 1 original packing list and 1 copy.
    \n\u2022 Full set of original bill of lading clean on board marked freight collect made out to the order of Issuing Bank, notify applicant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Analysis:<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n

    The beneficiary has to ship 3 olive oil processing machinery under this sample letter of credit.<\/p>\n

    Shipping only 1 olive oil processing machinery is a partial shipment.<\/p>\n

    After shipping 1 olive oil processing machinery, the beneficiary collects the shipping documents and makes the presentation to the issuing bank.<\/p>\n

    The beneficiary demands 100.000,00 USD from the issuing bank. This is the partial drawing as the beneficiary demands not the full credit amount.<\/p>\n

    The issuing bank checks the documents, and if the documents are complying then the issuing bank pays 100.000,00 USD to the beneficiary, which is the partial payment.<\/p>\n

    Conclusion:<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

    It is possible to get partial payments under the letters of credit, when partial shipments have been effected. Actually it is why partial shipments exist at the first place.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
