In fact, the contracted commodity is a kind of agricultural produce. It is impossible for us to present a manufacturer’s certificate.As to partial shipments, it would be to our mutual benefit if we could ship immediately whatever is ready instead of waiting for the whole shipment to be completed. Therefore, we’d like you to amend your L/C to read as “partial shipments allowed”.In addition, as this is the first time we do business with clients in your country, we request the L/C must be confirmed by a first-class bank, which is also clearly stated in the contract.
