LC/SBLC rules
UCP, ISP98 and URDG deal with bank undertakings/documentary practice, not the full sale-delivery allocation.
Why they interact
An LC may require a transport document marked freight prepaid, while the sales contract uses a particular Incoterm. Inconsistency can create commercial and documentary problems.
Do not merge rulebooks
A CIF sale does not by itself tell a bank whether an LC presentation complies, and an MT700 does not replace the sales contract.

Remember thisIncoterms govern delivery responsibilities; banking rules govern documentary/payment undertakings. They interact but are not interchangeable.
