L/C Port of Loading 問題

雖然香港已回歸中國，但在貿易上HONG KONG與CHINA分別兩個個體，在LC上若只寫"ANY SEAPORT IN CHINA"而提單上寫"HONG KONG"，根據跟單信用証貿易慣例
，是會產生不符點的，這不是銀行為求自保的事情。

It depends on how where the goods are manufactured. It is a normal practice that goods are usually loaded at the port of loading or near the post of manufacturing. This usually the case to avoid goods being damanged during transportation before it is load to vessel. The L/C now stated any seaport in China, in a broad sense, it may include Hong Kong. In practice, it may refer to sea ports in Mainland. So, to avoid misunderstanding or disputes, it may be helpful if you could ask your buyer to explain further or to give a further interpretation as this is not a very big issue.
