Article 26 of UCPDC 600 – “On Deck”, “Shipper’s Load and Count”, “Said by Shipper to Contain” and Charges Additional to Freight

This article clarifies how certain terms and notations in transport documents are to be treated when examining them under a Letter of Credit.

🚢 Key Provisions of Article 26:

1. “On Deck”
• If a marine transport document shows that goods are loaded on deck, it is not acceptable — unless allowed in the credit.
• “On deck” implies more risk and is generally unacceptable unless permitted.

2. “Shipper’s Load and Count” / “Said by Shipper to Contain”
• These phrases are acceptable and don’t affect the document’s compliance.
• It means the carrier did not verify the content but accepted it based on the shipper’s declaration.

3. Charges Additional to Freight
• If the document refers to charges in addition to freight, it is still acceptable.
• It doesn’t disqualify the document as long as the credit terms are met.

💡 Summary:

“Not all warnings on transport documents are red flags. Article 26 tells banks when to ignore disclaimers like ‘shipper’s load’ or ‘extra charges’—but says a hard no to ‘on deck’ shipments unless allowed.”
