B/L bearing cost additional to freight, on board notation qu

[ucp800]

Dear Expert,

May I ask for your opinion on the following:

L/C:
44A: India
44B:Port Sultan Qaboos

46A:
Full set clean on board ocean bill of lading consigned to order, blank endorsed.

Pre-carriage by: Rail
Place of Receipt: ICD Dadri
Ocean Vessel: DEF
Port of Loading: Nhava Sheva
Port of discharge: Port Sultan Qaboos
Place of delivery: Port Sultan Qaboos

On board notation :

Shipped on board in Nhava Sheva on Dec 12, 2009

Is the on board notation acceptable or not?
Is it necessary to show actual vessel name?


L/C
47A:
B/L marked freight prepaid, cannot bearing any clause and term relating to charges,
Art. 26c is excluded

for your reference:
Article 26.
c. A transport document may bear a reference, by stamp or otherwise, to charges additional to the freight.

B/L presented bearing such clause:

Merchant hereby agrees to pay on demand to the carrier agent at the discharge port, stamp duty on delivery in India. Merchant further agrees to furnise copy of customs cleared bill of entry to the vessels agent for ascertaining value of consignment covered by the Bill of Lading, for payment of stamp duty.

Is it acceptable for B/L showing such clause?

Thank you for your assistance.
Regards

+ For the 1st Query, a dated on board notation indicating the port of loading as stated in L/C and a named vessel is required in compliant with UCP600 article 20.
+ For the 2nd Query, such clause included in presented B/L is unacceptable.Banks are obliged to check the face of the document to determine the compliance, therefore, if L/C prohibits clauses relating to charges whether those charges are for the shipper's account or for the consignee's account, it will be considered to be discrepant.
