Chapter Seven

今天要进入一个新的章节罗, 各位你准备好了吗? ;P

先来个 introduction:

本章节主题是: Establishment of and Amendment to L/C

The exporter generally requires the importer to arrange for a letter of credit, the purpose of which is to enable the exporter to draw on a named bank when he presents his documents.

The letter of credit against which the draft is drawn must state the maximum amount and the durataion of the credit, the usance (the term) of the draft and the shipping documents that are to be sent with the draft.

Care must be taken by the exporter in scrutinizing the credit to see if all the terms and conditions in the credit can be complied with and if not, amendments should be made well in advance of shipment of the goods. Otherwise the exporter may run the risk of his draft being dishonoured by the bank.

女楼主!

你辛苦啦!
唯有感谢.

今天的例文的题目是: Amending L/C to Allow Partial Shipment and Transhipment

Dear sirs,

Letter of Credit No.3524 issued by the Bank of New South Wales has duly arrived. On perusal, we find that transhipment and partial shipment are not allowed.

As direct steamers to your port are few and far between, we have to ship via Hongkong more often than not. As to partial shipment, it would be to our mutual benefit if we could ship immediately whatever is ready instead of waiting for the whole shipment to be completed. Therefore we have cabled you this afternoon, askin you to amend your L/C to read "Partshipments and transhipment allowed".

We hope you will see to it that the amendment is cabled without delay.

Yours faithfully,

Dear sirs,

[u]L/C No. NSW6180[/u]

We confirm our cable of yesterday,reading as follows:

  L/C NSW6180 TIN PLATE ARRIVED ONLY TODAY JULY SHIPMENT
  IMPOSSIBLE EXTEND SHIPMENT VALIDITY 31/8 15/9 RESPECTIVELY

We trust that you have received the above cable and are doing what is necessary.

As stipulated in S/C 89STX-5491,shipment could be made in July provided your L/C reached us not later than 15th. However,we received your L/C only yesterday and it is absolutely impossible for us to ship the goods in July.

Under the circumstances,we regret to have to have to ask you to extend the above L/C to August 31st and September 15th for shipment and negotiation respectively,with the amendment to reach us by the 15th July; otherwise shipment will be further postponed.

We look forward to receiving the relevant amendment at an early date and thank you in advance.

(B) Reply

Dear sirs,

[u]L/C No. NSW6180[/u]

We have received your letter of June 30th requesting us to extend the above L/C to the 31stof August and the 15th of September for shipment and negotiation respectively.

We are quite aware of the conditions set forth in S/C 89STX-5491 that the goods ordered could be shipped in July if the covering L/C reached you on the 15th of June at the latest. However,as we had to go through the necessary formalities of applying for the relevant import licence,we could not open the L/C earlier. The import licence was granted on June 17th and is valid only up to the 31st of July.

We are wiling to do whatever we can to cooperate with you,but as the present import regulations do not allow any extension of licence,we regret having to say that it is beyond our ability to meet your request to extend the above L/C.

Please do your best to ship the goods in time and we thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,
