Article 4 Credits v. Contracts
第四條 信用證與合同
a. A credit by its nature is a separate transaction from the sale or other contract on which it may be based. Banks are in no way concerned with or bound by such contract, even if any reference whatsoever to it is included in the credit. Consequently, the undertaking of a bank to honour, to negotiate or to fulfil any other obligation under the credit is not subject to claims or defences by the applicant resulting from its relationships with the issuing bank or the beneficiary.
A beneficiary can in no case avail itself of the contractual relationships existing between banks or between the applicant and the issuing bank.
a. 就性質而言,信用證與可能作為其依據的銷售合同或其它合同,是相互獨立的交易。即使信用證中提及該合同,銀行亦與該合同完全無關,且不受其約束。因此,一家銀行作出兌付、議付或履行信用證項下其它義務的承諾,并不受申請人與開證行之間或與受益人之間在已有關系下產生的索償或抗辯的制約。
受益人在任何情況下,不得利用銀行之間或申請人與開證行之間的契約關系。
b. An issuing bank should discourage any attempt by the applicant to include, as an integral part of the credit, copies of the underlying contract, proforma invoice and the like.
b. 開證行應勸阻申請人將基礎合同、形式發票或其它類似文件的副本作為信用證整體組成部分的作法。
Article 5 Documents v. Goods, Services or Performance
第五條 單據與貨物/服務/行為
Banks deal with documents and not with goods, services or performance to which the documents may relate .

d. i. A credit must state an expiry date for presentation. An expiry date stated for honour or negotiation will be deemed to be an expiry date for presentation.
d. i 信用證必須規定提示單據的有效期限。規定的用于兌付或者議付的有效期限將被認為是提示單據的有效期限。

An issuing bank's undertaking to reimburse a nominated bank is independent of the issuing bank’s undertaking to the beneficiary.
c. 開證行保證向對于相符提示已經予以兌付或者議付并將單據寄往開證行的被指定銀行進行償付。無論被指定銀行是否于到期日前已經對相符提示予以預付或者購買,對于承兌或延期付款信用證項下相符提示的金額的償付于到期日進行。開證行償付被指定銀行的承諾獨立于開證行對于受益人的承諾。

A confirming bank's undertaking to reimburse another nominated bank is independent of the confirming bank’s undertaking to the beneficiary.
c. 保兌行保證向對于相符提示已經予以兌付或者議付并將單據寄往開證行的另一家被指定銀行進行償付。無論另一家被指定銀行是否于到期日前已經對相符提示予以預付或者購買,對于承兌或延期付款信用證項下相符提示的金額的償付于到期日進行。保兌行償付另一家被指定銀行的承諾獨立于保兌行對于受益人的承諾。
d. If a bank is authorized or requested by the issuing bank to confirm a credit but is not prepared to do so, it must inform the issuing bank without delay and may advise the credit without confirmation.
d. 如開證行授權或要求另一家銀行對信用證加具保兌,而該銀行不準備照辦時,它必須不延誤地告知開證行并仍可通知此份未經加具保兌的信用證。
Article 9 Advising of Credits and Amendments
第九條 信用證及修改的通知
a. A credit and any amendment may be advised to a beneficiary through an advising bank. An advising bank that is not a confirming bank advises the credit and any amendment without any undertaking to honour or negotiate. a. 信用證及其修改可以通過通知行通知受益人。除非已對信用證加具保兌,通知行通知信用證不構成兌付或議付的承諾。
b. By advising the credit or amendment, the advising bank signifies that it has satisfied itself as to the apparent authenticity of the credit or amendment and that the advice accurately reflects the terms and conditions of the credit or amendment received.
b. 通過通知信用證或修改,通知行即表明其認為信用證或修改的表面真實性得到滿足,且通知準確地反映了所收到的信用證或修改的條款及條件。
c. An advising bank may utilize the services of another bank (“second advising bank”) to advise the credit and any amendment to the beneficiary. By advising the credit or amendment, the second advising bank signifies that it has satisfied itself as to the apparent authenticity of the advice it has received and that the advice accurately reflects the terms and conditions of the credit or amendment received.
c. 通知行可以利用另一家銀行的服務(“第二通知行”)向受益人通知信用證及其修改。通過通知信用證或修改,第二通知行即表明其認為所收到的通知的表面真實性得到滿足,且通知準確地反映了所收到的信用證或修改的條款及條件。
d. A bank utilizing the services of an advising bank or second advising bank to advise a credit must use the same bank to advise any amendment thereto.
d. 如一家銀行利用另一家通知行或第二通知行的服務將信用證通知給受益人,它也必須利用同一家銀行的服務通知修改書。

If the advising bank or second advising bank elects nonetheless to advise the credit or amendment, it must inform the beneficiary or second advising bank that it has not been able to satisfy itself as to the apparent authenticity of the credit, the amendment or the advice.
f. 如果一家被要求通知信用證或修改,但不能確定信用證、修改或通知的表面真實性,就必須不延誤地告知向其發出該指示的銀行。如果通知行或第二通知行仍決定通知信用證或修改,則必須告知受益人或第二通知行其未能核實信用證、修改或通知的表面真實性。
Article 10 Amendments
第十條 修改
a. Except as otherwise provided by article 38, a credit can neither be amended nor cancelled without the agreement of the issuing bank, the confirming bank, if any, and the beneficiary.
a. 除本慣例第38條另有規定外,凡未經開證行、保兌行(如有)以及受益人同意,信用證既不能修改也不能撤銷。
b. An issuing bank is irrevocably bound by an amendment as of the time it issues the amendment. A confirming bank may extend its confirmation to an amendment and will be irrevocably bound as of the time it advises the amendment. A confirming bank may, however, choose to advise an amendment without extending its confirmation and, if so, it must inform the issuing bank without delay and inform the beneficiary in its advice.
b. 自發出信用證修改書之時起,開證行就不可撤銷地受其發出修改的約束。保兌行可將其保兌承諾擴展至修改內容,且自其通知該修改之時起,即不可撤銷地受到該修改的約束。然而,保兌行可選擇僅將修改通知受益人而不對其加具保兌,但必須不延誤地將此情況通知開證行和受益人。
c. The terms and conditions of the original credit (or a credit incorporating previously accepted amendments) will remain in force for the beneficiary until the beneficiary communicates its acceptance of the amendment to the bank that advised such amendment. The beneficiary should give notification of acceptance or rejection of an amendment. If the beneficiary fails to give such notification, a presentation that complies with the credit and to any not yet accepted amendment will be deemed to be notification of acceptance by the beneficiary of such amendment. As of that moment the credit will be amended.
c. 在受益人向通知修改的銀行表示接受該修改內容之前,原信用證(或包含先前已被接受修改的信用證)的條款和條件對受益人仍然有效。受益人應發出接受或拒絕接受修改的通知。如受益人未提供上述通知,當其提交至被指定銀行或開證行的單據與信用證以及尚未表示接受的修改的要求一致時,則該事實即視為受益人已作出接受修改的通知,并從此時起,該信用證已被修改。
d. A bank that advises an amendment should inform the bank from which it received the amendment of any notification of acceptance or rejection.
d. 通知修改的銀行應當通知向其發出修改書的銀行任何有關接受或拒絕接受修改的通知。
e. Partial acceptance of an amendment is not allowed and will be deemed to be notification of rejection of the amendment.
e. 不允許部分接受修改,部分接受修改將被視為拒絕接受修改的通知。
f. A provision in an amendment to the effect that the amendment shall enter into force unless rejected by the beneficiary within a certain time shall be disregarded.
f. 修改書中作出的除非受益人在某一時間內拒絕接受修改,否則修改將開始生效的條款將被不予置理。
Article 11 Teletransmitted and Pre-Advised Credits and Amendments
第十一條 電訊傳遞與預先通知的信用證和修改
a. An authenticated teletransmission of a credit or amendment will be deemed to be the operative credit or amendment, and any subsequent mail confirmation shall be disregarded.
If a teletransmission states "full details to follow" (or words of similar effect), or states that the mail confirmation is to be the operative credit or amendment, then the teletransmission will not be deemed to be the operative credit or amendment. The issuing bank must then issue the operative credit or amendment without delay in terms not inconsistent with the teletransmission.
a. 經證實的信用證或修改的電訊文件將被視為有效的信用證或修改,任何隨后的郵寄證實書將被不予置理。
若該電訊文件聲明"詳情后告"(或類似詞語)或聲明隨后寄出的郵寄證實書將是有效的信用證或修改,則該電訊文件將被視為無效的信用證或修改。開證行必須隨即不延誤地開出有效的信用證或修改,且條款不能與與電訊文件相矛盾。
b. A preliminary advice of the issuance of a credit or amendment (“pre-advice”) shall only be sent if the issuing bank is prepared to issue the operative credit or amendment. An issuing bank that sends a pre-advice is irrevocably committed to issue the operative credit or amendment, without delay, in terms not inconsistent with the pre-advice.
b. 只有準備開立有效信用證或修改的開證行,才可以發出開立信用證或修改預先通知書。發出預先通知的開證行應不可撤銷地承諾將不延誤地開出有效的信用證或修改,且條款不能與預先通知書相矛盾。
Article 12 Nomination
第十二條 指定
a. Unless a nominated bank is the confirming bank, an authorization to honour or negotiate does not impose any obligation on that nominated bank to honour or negotiate, except when expressly agreed to by that nominated bank and so communicated to the beneficiary.
a. 除非一家被指定銀行是保兌行,對被指定銀行進行兌付或議付的授權并不構成其必須兌付或議付的義務,被指定銀行明確同意并照此通知受益人的情形除外。
b. By nominating a bank to accept a draft or incur a deferred payment undertaking, an issuing bank authorizes that nominated bank to prepay or purchase a draft accepted or a deferred payment undertaking incurred by that nominated bank.
b. 通過指定一家銀行承兌匯票或承擔延期付款承諾,開證行即授權該被指定銀行預付或購買經其承兌的匯票或由其承擔延期付款的承諾。
c. Receipt or examination and forwarding of documents by a nominated bank that is not a confirming bank does not make that nominated bank liable to honour or negotiate, nor does it constitute honour or negotiation.
c. 非保兌行身份的被指定銀行接受、審核并寄送單據的行為既不使得該被指定銀行具有兌付或議付的義務,也不構成兌付或議付。
Article 13 Bank-to-Bank Reimbursement Arrangements
第十三條 銀行間償付約定
a. If a credit states that reimbursement is to be obtained by a nominated bank ("claiming bank") claiming on another party ("reimbursing bank"), the credit must state if the reimbursement is subject to the ICC rules for bank-to-bank reimbursements in effect on the date of issuance of the credit.
a. 如果信用證規定被指定銀行(“索償行”)須通過向另一方銀行(“償付行”)索償獲得償付,則信用證中必須聲明是否按照信用證開立日正在生效的國際商會《銀行間償付規則》辦理。
b. If a credit does not state that reimbursement is subject to the ICC rules for bank-to-bank reimbursements, the following apply:
b. 如果信用證中未聲明是否按照國際商會《銀行間償付規則》辦理,則適用于下列條款:
i. An issuing bank must provide a reimbursing bank with a reimbursement authorization that conforms with the availability stated in the credit. The reimbursement authorization should not be subject to an expiry date.

iii. 如果償付行未能按照信用證的條款及條件在首次索償時即行償付,則開證行應對索償行的利息損失以及產生的費用負責。
iv. A reimbursing bank's charges are for the account of the issuing bank. However, if the charges are for the account of the beneficiary, it is the responsibility of an issuing bank to so indicate in the credit and in the reimbursement authorization. If a reimbursing bank's charges are for the account of the beneficiary, they shall be deducted from the amount due to a claiming bank when reimbursement is made. If no reimbursement is made, the reimbursing bank's charges remain the obligation of the issuing bank.
iv. 償付行的費用應由開證行承擔。然而,如果費用系由受益人承擔,則開證行有責任在信用證和償付授權書中予以注明。如償付行的費用系由受益人承擔,則該費用應在償付時從支付索償行的金額中扣除。如果未發生償付,開證行仍有義務承擔償付行的費用。
c. An issuing bank is not relieved of any of its obligations to provide reimbursement if reimbursement is not made by a reimbursing bank on first demand.
c. 如果償付行未能于首次索償時即行償付,則開證行不能解除其自身的償付責任。

第十四條 審核單據的標準

a. 按照指定行事的被指定銀行、保兌行(如有)以及開證行必須對提示的單據進行審核,并僅以單據為基礎,以決定單據在表面上看來是否構成相符提示。
b.

b. 按照指定行事的被指定銀行、保兌行(如有)以及開證行,自其收到提示單據的翌日起算,應各自擁有最多不超過五個銀行工作日的時間以決定提示是否相符。該期限不因單據提示日適逢信用證有效期或最遲提示期或在其之后而被縮減或受到其它影響。

f. 如果信用證要求提示運輸單據、保險單據和商業發票以外的單據,但未規定該單據由何人出具或單據的內容。如信用證對此未做規定,只要所提交單據的內容看來滿足其功能需要且其它方面與十四條(d)款相符,銀行將對提示的單據予以接受。

第二受益人不得要求將信用證轉讓給任何次序位居其后的其他受益人。第一受益人不屬于此類其他受益人之列。
e. Any request for transfer must indicate if and under what conditions amendments may be advised to the second beneficiary. The transferred credit must clearly indicate those conditions.

For any second beneficiary that rejected the amendment, the transferred credit will remain unamended.
f. 如果信用證被轉讓給一個以上的第二受益人,其中一個或多個第二受益人拒絕接受某個信用證修改并不影響其他第二受益人接受修改。對于接受修改的第二受益人而言,信用證已做相應的修改;對于拒絕接受修改的第二受益人而言,該轉讓信用證仍未被修改。

If the name of the applicant is specifically required by the credit to appear in any document other than the invoice, such requirement must be reflected in the transferred credit.
如果原信用證特別要求開證申請人名稱應在除發票以外的任何單據中出現時,則轉讓信用證必須反映出該項要求。
h. The first beneficiary has the right to substitute its own invoice and draft, if any, for those of a second beneficiary for an amount not in excess of that stipulated in the credit, and upon such substitution the first beneficiary can draw under the credit for the difference, if any, between its invoice and the invoice of a second beneficiary.

i. If the first beneficiary is to present its own invoice and draft, if any, but fails to do so on first demand, or if the invoices presented by the first beneficiary create discrepancies that did not exist in the presentation made by the second beneficiary and the first beneficiary fails to correct them on first demand, the transferring bank has the right to present the documents as received from the second beneficiary to the issuing bank, without further responsibility to the first beneficiary.
i. 如果第一受益人應當提交其自己的發票和匯票(如有),但卻未能在收到第一次要求時照辦;或第一受益人提交的發票導致了第二受益人提示的單據中本不存在的不符點,而其未能在收到第一次要求時予以修正,則轉讓銀行有權將其從第二受益人處收到的單據向開證行提示,并不再對第一受益人負責。
j. The first beneficiary may, in its request for transfer, indicate that honour or negotiation is to be effected to a second beneficiary at the place to which the credit has been transferred, up to and including the expiry date of the credit.
