国际商会制订的《跟单信用证统一惯例》(Uniform customs and practice for Doc-umentary Credits)简称《统一惯例》(UCP)。该惯例对信用证的适用范围、信用证的定义、形式、各有关当事人的责任与义务、对单据的要求以及信用证的转让等都作了具体的规定。这是一个内容相当完善的规则,受到世界各国银行界、贸易界的普遍欢迎和广泛使用。因此,《统一惯例》对国际贸易结算中信用证业务的发展起到了强有力的推动作用。
The “Uniform customs and practice for Doc-umentary Credits” formulated by the International Chamber of Commerce is abbreviated as “Uniform Practice” (UCP). This practice specifies the scope of application of the letter of credit, the definition and form of the letter of credit, the responsibilities and obligations of all relevant parties, the requirements for documents, and the transfer of letters of credit. This is a fairly well-constructed rule that has been widely welcomed and widely used by the banking and trade circles of countries around the world. Therefore, the “Uniform Practice” has played a powerful role in promoting the development of the letter of credit business in international trade settlement.
