There are many l/c discrepancies.

I want to discuss this matter in practise.Usually even some exprerienced bankers cannot detect discrepancies.So its harder for an inexperienced exporter to prepare the documents without any discrepancy.In practice I believe that

Here I want the alibaba members to share their l/c discrepancies .

1)I made an export . I had prepared a decleration on my letterhead paper for shipment no , shipment date and B/L no.The shipment voyage no: was eas 106 at my declaration..

At B/L the shipper company wrote only eas. So the applicant bank said that there is contradiction between my declaration.and b/l.

I prepared another declaration and send it by courier express service to the applicant bank.
I believe that the information doesnot contradict to each other.
