Hi all,
a L/C required AWB as per UCP art. 27 and was issued in order to that article.
The are also three field on AWB named as:
1) Issuing carriers agent name and city
2) agents IATA code
3) account no.
.
My question is, if field 1 is empty and only field 2 and field 3 are filled with numbers only, does this disqualify the AWB issued as per art. 27 of the UCP?
In case field 1 would be filled with the same name as the undersigning carrier, this would consitute a discrepancy, but would also consitute a discrepancy with filled fields 2 and 3 ?
Many thanks in advance for your help.
best regards

Gerhard,
If AWB comply with art. 27 and credit , it is OK and too bad if some boxes are empty. Actually, I have in front of me an AWB with box 1 (in your example) empty and boxes 2 and 3 completed but the name of the carrier appears (issued by) and it is duly signed.

Happy Christmas to the forum
