Letter-of-credit document coordination for Nepal
LIFA coordinated a documentary discrepancy review for a Nepal-bound order, helping resolve the mismatch and release payment within five days.
- The buyer
- A Kathmandu, Nepal importer of food processing equipment.
- The product scope
- Food processing equipment; 1 line, $145,000 LC value.
What needed to change?
The negotiating bank flagged a discrepancy: the invoice description differed from the LC wording; the shipment was at risk of rejection or a 30-day hold.
How LIFA managed the work
We reviewed the LC terms against the presented documents line by line.
We negotiated a discrepancy waiver with the issuing bank.
We arranged corrected documentation where permitted.
We built an LC document checklist to prevent recurrence.
Discrepancy waived; payment released within 5 days; shipment delivered on schedule; the checklist now governs all LC-based orders.
