UCP600注解中英结合 作者：李道金 译文是参阅有关中译本并结合笔者自己的理解而作出的;注解完全是凭笔者自己多年的经验而作出的,其版权归本站所有. Article 1 Application of UCP The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits, 2007 Revision, ICC Publication no.600 (“UCP”) are rules that apply to any documentary credit (“credit”) (including, to the extent to which they may be applicable, any stand by letter of credit) when the text of the credit expressly indicates that it is subject to these rules.

Beneficiary means the party in whose favour a credit is issued. Complying presentation means a presentation that is in accordance with the terms and conditions of the credit, the applicable provisions of these rules and international standard banking practice.
