Hi Pal,

I understand that original l/c must be presented to the bank, that is nominated to avail the l/c same.Normally, in case of partial shipment, this original l/c must be presented and the bank will endorse for such amount the back. In the famous Swift book n. 7, it is written that the bank advising an L/C available with any bank, must clause the advice as follows:
-The advice to beneficiary must be presented at each negotiation.

-the negotiating bank must note each negotiation on that advice.

Those notes refer to "negotiabkle l/c" but with UCP 600, an l/c could be available with any bank, for payment, deferred payment and acceptance too.

So try to clarify and insert more details.

Thanks
Ciao
