应重视美国信用证中某些特别条款美国是我国的重要贸易伙伴之一,对我国来证很多,相对于发展中国家而言,美国虽经常发生经济金融危机,但美国在第二次世界大战中,本土未遭到破坏,美元仍操纵国际金融界,加上信用证在美国的应用历史较长,虽声称遵守UCP600的原则,但因其政治、经济、文化和贸易等情况的不同,近10多年来,美国信用证中的政治条款和对食品药品的质量保证条款越来越多,应引起我们的特别注意,才能与时俱进,因势利导,理论创新,为我国对外开放政策服务。 一、 美国信用证中的政治条款及举例: 特别是在911事件之后,美国更加充分地利用在联合国通过的禁运法,美国的反恐怖法和洗钱法等,甚至援引美国的国内法或地方法加强对他国实施经济和贸易制裁,美国的来证以及和美国银行有关联的银行来证充分地贯彻美国的国家意志,把有关的政治条款写入了开证行,指定银行、申请人、受益人之间的契约――信用证。信用证中的这些政治条款表述非常直接和全面,我们必须小心谨慎地面对和处理,现举例如下: 1.Presentation of documents that are not in compliance with the applicable anti-boycott, anti-terrorism, anti-money laundering, and sanctions laws and regulations is not acceptable, applicable laws vary depending on the transaction and may include united nations, united states and/or local laws.(美国迟付信用证明By def Payment条款。) 中译:如果提交的单据与现行的反禁运、反恐怖、反洗钱和制裁法律法规不一致,本单据将不被接受。其法律依据可适用联合国法、美国法和/或地方法,并依据制裁的性质有所不同。 2.Please be advised that we will not make any payment under this letter of credit(i) to any entity or person who is subject to sanctions issued by the U.S. department of commerce, or to whom payment is prohibited by the foreign asset control regulations of the U.S. department of treasury, or (ii) which otherwise is in contravention of U.S.laws and regulations. 中译:兹在此告知:我行将不会向本信用证项下受美国商务部制裁的任何实体/自然人支付款项,也不会向任何其付款被美国财政部外国资产管制法所禁止的人支付款项,也不会向违反美国法律法规的任何人付款。 3.Third party shipper/documents are permitted provided that such third party is not any person with whom U.S. persons are prohibited from doing business under U.S. foreign assets control regulations or other applicable U.S. laws and regulations.

This letter of credit may not be transferred to any person with which U.S. persons are prohibited from doing business under U.S.(美国可转让信用证条款) 中译:第三方托运人/单据可以接受,只要此第三方不是美国外国资产管制法或其他美国现行法律法规所禁止从事商务的人。如果所提交的单据含有上述所说禁止从事商务的一方,我行有权不予兑付。本信用证不可转予禁
