Question:
Can an LC be transferred at the request of the 2nd beneficiary to a subsequent (3rd) beneficiary?
Answer:
According to ICC, UCP 600 sub-article 38 d. it cannot be effected, but as per
sub-article 1 the ICC rules can be modified. However, it is not recommended as it increases the operational risks. Most banks will disapprove of a request for transfer to a 3rd beneficiary.
