Does paying a discrepancy fee turn non-complying documents into complying documents?
Amendment, Discrepancy and Document Charges
Small operational events can add up over a transaction.
Amendments
Each amendment can create issuing/advising charges and operational work. Repeated changes may also increase execution risk.
Discrepancy charges
Some credits/banks state discrepancy fees. A fee does not magically make a discrepant presentation compliant; it is simply a charge associated with handling.
Document checking
Negotiating/nominated/issuing banks may have handling or examination charges depending on the arrangement.
Avoidable cost
Clear drafting before issuance can reduce amendments, courier cycles and discrepancy costs. Better wording is often cheaper than fixing a poor LC later.
Standards / source note: Bank charges and pricing are transaction-specific. Obtain the current tariff or quote from the banks involved; ICC rules do not set universal fee levels.
Remember thisGood drafting is not only about legal clarity; it can reduce operational fees and delay.
