tele communication

UCP 600 does not require discrepancy message to be sent by SWIFT. the requirement is telecommunication or other expeditious means. email therefore qualifies. in fact sometimes its the best choice. for example when you have a direct presentation from a beneficiary abroad, email is the best idea.

It's a new point,never thought of this before. Cuase as the accelated updating science and technology, the information can transfer in easier and quicker way. maybe in the near future, SWIFT can be replaced by email or other advanced transfer media,hahah ;)
