Spelling Mistake in the Name on the Import LC

[Dhaham]

Dear Friends
I’m importing a Peugeot 3008 under my permit through “Car Mart. Their procedure is as follows.
Car Mart (Pvt) Ltd issued a Proforma Invoice to me and I opened a local LC to them.
Then Peugeot-France issued a “master” Proforma Invoice (for several vehicles) to Car Mart (Pvt) Ltd and Car Mart opened a “master” International LC to Peugeot.
In following three documents, my name is correctly mentioned as “Amara******”
    1: Permit
    2: Proforma Invoiced issued by Car Mart, to me
    3: Local LC opened by me to Car Mart
However, in the following two documents, my name is incorrectly mentioned as “Amera******”.
    4: “master” Proforma Invoice issued by Peugeot to Car Mart
    5: “master” International LC opened by Car Mart to Peugeot
I assume that, even in the Commercial Invoice, which will be sent by Peugeot, with the car, my name will be incorrectly mentioned. 
I just want to know
    1. Will this be a problem when clearing the car.
    2. Will this be a problem when registering the car under my name.
    3. What are the actions that I need to take under this situation.
Your comments will be highly appreciated

I believe in such a situation a certificate by Grama Niladhari/ JP will sort out the issue. I don't think this will be an issue when registering the car but might be an issue (not sure since one character is out of place) when clearing it.

It seems like Carmart has screwed up spelling of your name, typical of them.

Get them to rectify it is not your fault.

Most likely if the initials and other details are right should not be a problem as customs are not run by idiots.

Only issue i see is the name that will appear in the custom documents which will be used in the registration. Hopefully it will be as the local LC get a clarification.

Suggest you get a clarification from Carmart.

If i were you will also send them a letter under registered cover for future reference just in case as sometimes they pretend as if they do not know anything.

Telling this through experience Mitsubishi 2007, Mercedes 2018

No major issue. Tell carmart to obtain an amended invoice with the correct name and the local bank will amend the LC which is a simple process.
