Freight Payable at Origin vs Freight Prepaid

Post by GUBAZ » Thu Mar 12, 2015 7:01 pm

Hi all.

The L/C mention Port of Origin: Antwerp, the incoterm is CIF and B/L requested marked freight prepaid.
The B/L presented mentions Freight payable at Antwerp.
My question is, it is acceptable marked freight payable at antwerp instead of marked freight prepaid?

if lc mentions CIF antwerp and freight prepaid
CIF-Cost of Freight(antwerp)
B/L should show the same details freight payable at antwerp is a discrepancy.
