Can i get your opinion whether it is mandatory to ask in the L/C, to state Freight Collect or Prepaid on the transport documents when the terms of purchase (FOB/CNF) is mentioned in the L/C.

Sean,
No, and the more so since UCP 500 art. 33 has not been reintroduced in UCP 600

Dear Sean,
The short answer is: this is not mandatory – although common.
There are few cases where these things do not go hand in hand. Vital is that the LC reflects what has been agreed / what is expected to happen.
If you provide more info – you may get a more precise answer.
Best regards
Kim
