under payment by D/A 60 days after sight.
On August 8, 2023, DEF Co, delivered, collected

Vietcombank received Collection order, all documents,
and B/E from Mitsubishi Bank on August 12, 2023 and
notified ABC Co. without delay. Along with its notice,
Vietcombank also sent the B/E to ABC Co. for
acceptance in case ABC agreed to pay. Question 15 (cont.)
ABC received Vietcombank’s notice and B/E on August
13, 2023. However, after confirming with carrier, ABC
found that the shipment had not arrived yet at that
moment. Therefore, ABC delayed signing in B/E Acceptance.
On September 15, 2023, ABC received Arrival Notice
from the Carrier informing that the vessel would arrived on September 18, 2023.
On September 18, 2023, ABC accepted B/E in exchange
for Documents in order to receive the shipment. Questions:
1/ Is the fact that ABC refused to accept the B/E on August 13 reasonable?
2/ What is the payment time for the B/E in this case?
