L/C-Compliant Salt Documentation — Full B/L Set From Egypt
Letters of credit are the workhorse payment mechanism for bulk salt exports. If the L/C document set isn't prepared correctly, your bank refuses funds — even after the salt arrives. This guide walks the full Egyptian salt L/C document set + how we avoid bank rejection.
- Commercial Invoice (×3 originals) — buyer name matching L/C exactly, qty/unit price/Incoterm matching L/C
- Packing List (×3) — container/pallet breakdown, net + gross weights, marks + numbers per buyer spec
- Bill of Lading (×3 originals + 3 copies) — Clean on Board, Freight Prepaid/Collect per Incoterm, consignment per L/C
- Certificate of Origin (×3) — Egyptian Chamber of Commerce stamped; EUR1 for EU destinations under Pan-Euro-Mediterranean rules
- Phytosanitary Certificate — Egyptian Ministry of Agriculture (where required — typically food / agricultural / animal-feed salt)
- Certificate of Analysis (×3) — Egypt Globe QC Lab actual measurements + pass/fail per parameter; optional independent TÜV Austria / SGS / Intertek / Bureau Veritas / TUV at 0.3-0.5% of FOB
- Insurance Certificate (CIF only) — Lloyd's of London or Misr Insurance, 110% of CIF value, ICC (A) + war + strikes
- Mis-spelled buyer name → we copy/paste from L/C character-by-character
- Quantity mismatch Invoice/Packing List/B/L → 3-way cross-check before issue
- Late shipment B/L → we plan vessel sailing 5-7 days before L/C latest-ship-date
- Stale documents (presented >21 days post-B/L per UCP 600) → we courier originals within 48 hours of B/L
- Missing CoA stamps → every page wet-stamped + signed
- Missing partial-shipment clause → we confirm with L/C upfront
- B/L type mismatch (Order vs Straight) → must match L/C wording
Submit an RFQ + ask for a sample document set — we send a (sanitised) L/C package PDF so your bank's L/C department can review before you commit.
