As per IAS 16, any costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the
manner intended by management.  Therefore the bank charges can be capitalized as it is directly attributable to bringing the asset to your company.

LC charges relate to method of payment not to the assets so they should be expensed.
