(1) If L/C states "MORE OR LESS 3 PCT ON QUANTITIES AND AMOUNT", it means the bank would accept I/E documents which show the quantities and amount that are within +/- 3% of the goods description on the L/C (please check the quantities in the goods description clause). For example, if the goods description on your L/C shows 1000KGS, then the quantity on your documents should not be less than 997KGS or more than 1003KGS (within +/- 3%).
(2) Your documents need to follow all the requirements set in the L/C. If the L/C value is stated in EUR currency and there is no other clauses allowing C/O stated in HKD, then you need to prepare the C/O in EUR. Supposing that the issuer of C/O cannot state the goods value in EUR, you need to ask your customer to add an additional cluase allowing C/O stated in HKD in advance. At this point, you can either amend the C/O (which is NOT suggested because it can cause DEMURRAGE) or ask your customer to accept the discrepancy.

I think you better ask not to disclose the goods value in the C/O. Your customer can get your cost even if the C/O is stated in HKD. If you request to state the goods value in EUR, then your supplier will know your selling price.

As I do not have your L/C on hand, I cannot conclude whether the bank would accept your C/O if it is without the FOB value. As the amendment in C/O needs the return of the original, it may cause shipment demurrage. Thus, it is suggested to ask for discrepancy acceptance.

But if your L/C does not specify a C/O issued by the Chamber of Commerce, then you may prepare a C/O with your supplier's letterhead (i.e. C/O issued by the manufacturer) to replace the current one.

What I can advise is based on the general situations. Any phases or clauses in the L/C may call for different requirements. You are advised to take note of the whole L/C.

But if your L/C DOES NOT specify a C/O issued by the Chamber of Commerce, then you may prepare a C/O with your supplier's letterhead (i.e. C/O issued by the manufacturer) NOT stating any goods value to replace the existing one.

You can ignore what is required in your industry when dealing with L/C. The most important thing is to prepare documents meeting the L/C requirements. So you may prepare one C/O (without value) for your L/C and one C/O (with value) for customs declaration.
