A DC requires that the BL shows the description of the goods "as described above".
Above, there is field 45A. Must the BL state the whole content (goods, contract no, unit price, ...) of 45A?

Daniel,

I struggle to see the purpose of this stipulation could be other than to require that the goods description in the BL is exactly per the goods description in field 45A. So I believe the answer to your question is ‘yes’.

Hi,

It is recognized that transport articles in UCP 600 say nothing about description of goods and that ISBP just says a goods description in the BL may be shown in general terms not in conflict with that stated in the LC.

From the requirement in your particular case, it is difficult to say if the description of goods in the BL may be shown in general terms or must be shown as what stated in field 45A of the L/C. There must be different views.

As a description of goods in BL is rarely required, the applicant must have his own reasons to insist on this requirement. I think it looks quite strange but to avoid any dispute in this particular case the description of goods in the B/L should be shown as what stated in field 45A of the LC.

Best regards,
N.H. Duc
