Partial Shipment

What is a Partial Shipment?

Partial shipment is the delivery of an order in more than one shipment. It means, when a buyer orders goods, all the goods are not shipped at once, rather they are sent to the buyer in parts. To make a partial shipment, it must be agreed upon by the buyer in a letter of credit.
