If Letter of Credit omits to mention Field 71B (Charges) then to whom liability goes  to pay the L/C Advising Bank's Charges and Nominated Bank Charege and Reimbursement Charges. Whethere the L/C will be valid or not.

See Swift Usage Rules....

Hi Friend,

 

Usage rules regarding field 71B in a Swift MT700 stated:

+in the absence of this field , all charges, except negotiation and transfer, are to be borne by the applicant.

 

I wrote "stated" because I have a paper copy dated September 2000, so please check if the sentence is still in the

electronic versuon of book category 7.

Let me know

Ciao
