Publisher's Synopsis
Commercial letters of credit are the lifeblood of the international trade system and, for more than 70 years, the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has established the rules governing documentary credits worldwide.
Used by letter of credit practitioners (including bankers, traders, lawyers, transporters, academics and all who deal with letter of credit transactions worldwide), Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP) are the most successful private rules for trade ever developed.
UCP 600 entered into force on July 1, 2007 and contains substantive changes to the existing rules that all international business professionals need to know.
This version of UCP 600 also includes eUCP (ICC's supplement to the UCP governing presentation of documents in electronic or part-electronic form) and a glossary of international trading terms.
