17. Most Common Discrepancy 10: Partial Shipment or Transshipment Effected Despite L/C Terms
- Transhipment means unloading from one means of conveyance and reloading to another means of conveyance. (whether or not in different modes of transport)
- Partial shipment means shipment of goods not whole in one lot, but in more than one lots.
- If the letter of credit prohibits partial shipments and/or transhipment, the exporter must act accordingly.
- Please keep in mind that the letter of credit rules allow transhipments under certain circumstances even if the credit prohibits so.
