Yes this is possible, but all amendments have to be approved by the applicant and issuing bank. When an LC has expired it means that the issuing bank has no more liability towards the exporter, and if beneficiaries ship goods they do it at their own risk and peril. If exporters require the LC to be extended or amended they must contact the applicant who in turn must apply for an amendment at the bank (issuing bank).
It is a method which means that a first beneficiary (often a middleman) transfers their rights to a second beneficiary (normally the producer or ultimate seller).

If the LC has expired and if the documents are discrepant and not accepted by the applicant.
If the LC does not state the amount of insurance, the insurance document must cover at least 110% of the invoice amount (CIF/CIP value).
The idea of Documentary Collection is that the goods remain in your control until the buyer has paid and received the documents. To achieve this, remember to put the collecting bank (buyer's bank) as consignee of the goods in the transport documents.
An Aval is a joint commitment by the principal debtor and a third party (normally a financial institution) to effect payment of an obligation in favour of the beneficiary. The third party commits itself for the full credit amount in the event that the principal debtor does not fulfil their obligation by the due date.
