信用证(letter of credit)是指由买方的银行以买方的名义,向卖
方的银行发出的一种有关国际贸易的支付方式。
它的原则是:买方的银行
承诺支付给卖方指定金额的钱,只要卖方能够提供指定的货品或服务证明,并满足其他条款。
信用证的出现有助于加强买卖双方的信任,确保交易的
安全性。
信用证是保证国际贸易支付的重要手段。
买卖双方中,买方希望确认
购买的货物是否满足约定标准,也希望卖方能够按时到货;而卖方希望保
证货款的安全,也希望能够与买方建立更长久的合作关系。
信用证能够双
方都满足其所需。
一般地,一个信用证包含了四方的信息,即卖方和买方,以及卖方和
买方的银行。
在贸易过程中,卖方向买方发货的时候,卖方的银行必须先
获得买方银行的确认,买方的银行才会向卖方支付货款。
卖方银行开出的
信用证是对卖方的一种担保,如果买方的银行没有严格按照信用证的条款
支付,卖方的银行有权要求买方支付损失。
所以,信用证是保障国际贸易
交易安全及双方利益的重要保证措施。

即信用证是一种银行开立的有条件的承诺付款的书面文件。
以CIF价格为例在国际贸易活动,买卖双方可能互不信任,买方担心预付款后,卖方不按合同要求发货;卖方也担心在发货或提交货运单据后买方不付款。
因此需要两家银行作为买卖双方的保证人,代为收款交单,以银行信用代替商业信用。
银行在这一活动中所使用的工具就是信用证。
可见,信用证是银行有条件保证付款的证书,成为国际贸易活动中常见的结算方式。
按照这种结算方式的一般规定,买方先将货款交存银行,由银行开立信用证,通知异地卖方开户银行转告卖方,卖方按合同和信用证规定的条款发货,银行代买方付款。
Letter of Credit
Letter of creditAfter a contract is concluded between buyer and seller, buyer's bank supplies a letter of credit toseller.Seller consigns the goods to a carrier in exchangefor a bill of lading.A standard, commercial letter of credit is a document issued mostlyby a financial institution, used primarily in trade finance, which usuallyprovides an irrevocable payment undertaking.The letter of credit can also be source of payment for a transaction,meaning that redeeming the letter of credit will pay an exporter. Lettersof credit are used primarily in international trade transactions ofsignificant value, for deals between a supplier in one country and acustomer in another. They are also used in the land developmentprocess to ensure that approved public facilities (streets, sidewalks,stormwater ponds, etc.) will be built. The parties to a letter of credit areusually a beneficiary who is to receive the money, the issuing bank ofwhom the applicant is a client, and the advising bank of whom thebeneficiary is a client. Almost all letters of credit are irrevocable, i.e.,cannot be amended or cancelled without prior agreement of thebeneficiary, the issuing bank and the confirming bank, if any. Inexecuting a transaction, letters of credit incorporate functions commonto giros and Traveler's cheques. Typically, the documents a beneficiaryhas to present in order to receive payment include a commercialinvoice, bill of lading, and documents proving the shipment wasinsured against loss or damage in transit. However, the list and form ofdocuments is open to imagination and negotiation and might containrequirements to present documents issued by a neutral third partyevidencing the quality of the goods shipped, or their place of origin.TerminologyThe English name “letter of credit ” derives from the French word“accreditation ”, a power to do something, which in turn is derivative ofthe Latin word “accreditivus ”, meaning trust. The Application any defence relating to the underlying contract of sale.This is as long as the seller performs their duties to an extent that meets the requirements contained in the letter of credit.How it worksA business called the InCosmetika from time to time imports goods from a business called ACME, which banks with the ABC Bank. InCosmetika holds an account at the Commonwealth Bank. InCosmetika wants to buy $500,000worth of merchandise from ACME, who agrees to sell the goods and give InCosmetika 60 days to pay for them, on the condition that they are provided with a 90-day letter of credit for the full amount. The steps to get the letter of credit would be as follows:Seller provides bill of lading to bank in exchange for payment. Seller's bank exchanges bill of lading for payment from buyer's bank. Buyer's bank exchanges bill of lading for payment fromthe buyer.Buyer provides bill of lading to carrier and takesdelivery of goods.•InCosmetika goes to The Commonwealth Bank and requests a$500,000 letter of credit, with ACME as the beneficiary.•The Commonwealth Bank can issue a letter of credit either onapproval of a standard loan underwriting process or by InCosmetikafunding it directly with a deposit of $500,000 plus fees which aretypically between 1% and 8% of the face value of the letter ofcredit.•The Commonwealth Bank sends a copy of the letter of credit to theABC Bank, which notifies ACME that payment is available andthey can ship the merchandise InCosmetika has ordered with the fullassurance of payment to them.•On presentation of the stipulated documents in the letter of creditand compliance with the terms and conditions of the letter of credit,the Commonwealth Bank transfers the $500,000 to the ABC Bank,which then credits the account of ACME for that amount.•Note that banks deal only with documents required in the letter of credit and not the underlying transaction.•Many exporters have mistakenly assumed that the payment is guaranteed after receiving the letter of credit. The issuing bank is obligated to pay under the letter of credit only when the stipulated documents are presented and the terms and conditions of the letter of credit have been met.AvailabilityA letter of credit being an irrevocable undertaking of the issuing bank makes available the Proceeds, to the Beneficiary of the Credit provided, stipulated documents strictly complying with the provisions of the letter of credit,UCP 600 and other international standard banking practices, are presented to the issuing bank, then:•i.if the Credit provides for sight payment – by payment at sight against compliant presentation•ii.if the Credit provides for deferred payment – by payment on the maturity date(s) determinable in accordance with the stipulations of the Credit; and of course undertaking to pay on due date and confirming maturity date at the time of compliant presentation•iii.a.if the Credit provides for acceptance by the Issuing Bank – by acceptance of Draft(s) drawn by the Beneficiary on the Issuing Bank and payment at maturity of such tenor draft, or•iii.b. if the Credit provides for acceptance by another drawee bank– by acceptance and payment at maturity Draft(s)drawn by the Beneficiary on the Issuing Bank in the event the drawee bank stipulated in the Credit does not accept Draft(s) drawn on it,or by payment of Draft(s) accepted but not paid by such drawee bank at maturity;•iv. if the Credit provides for negotiation by another bank – by payment without recourse to drawers and/or bona fide holders, Draft(s) drawn by the Beneficiary and/or document(s) presented under the Credit, (and so negotiated by the nominated bank )•Negotiation means the giving of value for Draft(s) and/or document(s) by the bank authorized to negotiate, viz the nominated bank. Mere examination of the documents and forwarding the same to the letter of credit issuing bank for reimbursement, without giving of value / agreed to give, does not constitute a negotiation.Some of the Documents Called for under a Letter of Credit•Financial DocumentsBill of Exchange, Co-accepted Draft•Commercial DocumentsInvoice, Packing list•Shipping DocumentsTransport Document, Insurance Certificate, Commercial, Official or Legal Documents•Official DocumentsLicense, Embassy legalization, Origin Certificate, Inspection Cert , Phyto-sanitary Certificate•Transport DocumentsBill of Lading (ocean or multi-modal or Charter party), Airway bill, Lorry/truck receipt, railway receipt, CMC Other than Mate Receipt, Forwarder Cargo Receipt, Deliver Challan...etc•Insurance documentsInsurance policy, or Certificate but not a cover note.pre shipment packing listLegal principles governing documentary creditsOne of the primary peculiarities of the documentary credit is that the payment obligation is abstract and independent from the underlying contract of sale or any other contract in the transaction. Thus the bank’s obligation is defined by the terms of the credit alone, and the sale contract is irrelevant. The defences of the buyer arising out of the sale contract do not concern the bank and in no way affect its liability.[1] Article 4(a) UCP states this principle clearly. Article 5 the UCP further states that banks deal with documents only, they are not concerned with the goods (facts). Accordingly, if the documents tendered by the beneficiary, or his or her agent, appear to be in order, then in general the bank is obliged to pay without further qualifications.The policies behind adopting the abstraction principle are purely commercial and reflect a party’s expectations: firstly, if the responsibility for the validity of documents was thrown onto banks, they would be burdened with investigating the underlying facts of each transaction and would thus be less inclined to issue documentary credits as the transaction would involve great risk and inconvenience. Secondly, documents required under the credit could in certain circumstances be different from those required under the sale transaction; banks would then be placed in a dilemma in deciding which terms to follow if required to look behind the credit agreement. Thirdly, the fact that the basic function of the credit is to provide the seller with the certainty of receiving payment, as long as he performs his documentary duties, suggests that banks should honour their obligation notwithstanding allegations of misfeasanceby the buyer. [2] Finally, courts have emphasised that buyers always have a remedy for an action upon the contract of sale, and that it would be a calamity for the business world if, for every breach of contract between the seller and buyer, a bank were required to investigate said breach.The “principle of strict compliance” also aims to make the bank’s duty of effecting payment against documents easy, efficient and quick. Hence, if the documents tendered under the credit deviate from the language of the credit the bank is entitled to withhold payment even if the deviation is purely terminological.[3] The general legal maxim de minimis non curat lex has no place in the field of documentary credits.The price of letters of creditAll the charges for issuance of Letter of Credit, negotiation of documents, reimbursements and other charges like courier are to the account of applicant or as per the terms and conditions of the Letter of credit. If the letter of credit is silent on charges, then they are to the account of the Applicant. The description of charges and who would be bearing them would be indicated in the field 71B in the Letter of Credit.Legal Basis for Letters of CreditAlthough documentary credits are enforceable once communicated to the beneficiary, it is difficult to show any consideration given by the beneficiary to the banker prior to the tender of documents. In such transactions the undertaking by the beneficiary to deliver the goods to the applicant is not sufficient consideration for the bank’s promise because the contract of sale is made before the issuance of the credit, thus consideration in these circumstances is past. In addition, the performance of an existing duty under a contract cannot be a valid consideration for a new promise made by the bank: the delivery of the goods is consideration for enforcing the underlying contract of sale and cannot be used, as it were, a second time to establish the enforceability of the bank-beneficiary relation.Legal writers have analyzed failed to satisfactorily reconcile the bank’s undertaking with any contractual analysis. The theories include: the implied promise, assignment theory, the novation theory, reliance theory, agency theories, estoppels and trust theories, anticipatory theory, and the guarantee theory. [4] Davis, Treitel, Goode, Finkelstein and Ellinger have all accepted the view that documentary credits should be analyzed outside the legal framework of contractual principles, which require the presence of consideration. Accordingly, whether the documentary credit is referred to as a promise, an undertaking, a chose in action, an engagement or a contract, it is acceptable in English jurisprudence to treat it as contractual in nature, despite the fact that it possesses distinctive features, which make it sui generis.A few countries including the US (see Article 5 of the Uniform Commercial Code) have created statutes in relation to the operation of letters of credit. These statutes are designed to work with the rules of practice including the UCP and the ISP98. These rules are practice are incorporated into the transaction by agreement of the parties. The latest version of the UCP is the UCP600 effective July 1, 2007[5] . The previous revision was the UCP500 and became effective on 1 January 1994. Since the UCP are not laws, parties have to include them into their arrangements as normal contractual provisions.International Trade Payment methods•Advance payment (most secure for seller)Where the buyer parts with money first and waits for the seller to forward the goods•Documentary Credit (more secure for seller as well as buyer)Subject to ICC's UCP 600, where the bank gives an undertaking (on behalf of buyer and at the request of applicant ) to pay the shipper ( beneficiary ) the value of the goods shipped if certain documents are submitted and if the stipulated terms and conditions are strictly complied.Here the buyer can be confident that the goods he is expecting only will be received since it will be evidenced in the form of certain documents called for meeting the specified terms and conditions while the supplier can be confident that if he meets the stipulations his payment for the shipment is guaranteed by bank, who is independent of the parties to the contract.•Documentary collection (more secure for buyer and to a certain extent to seller)Also called "Cash Against Documents". Subject to ICC's URC 525, sight and usance, for delivery of shipping documents against payment or acceptances of draft, where shipment happens first, then the title documents are sent to the [collecting bank] buyer's bank by seller's bank [remitting bank], for delivering documents against collection of payment/acceptance•Direct payment (most secure for buyer)Where the supplier ships the goods and waits for the buyer to remit the bill proceeds, on open account terms.Risk situations in letter-of-credit transactionsFraud Risks•The payment will be obtained for nonexistent or worthless merchandise against presentation by the beneficiary of forged or falsified documents.•Credit itself may be forged.Sovereign and Regulatory Risks•Performance of the Documentary Credit may be prevented by government action outside the control of the parties.Legal Risks•Possibility that performance of a Documentary Credit may be disturbed by legal action relating directly to the parties and their rights and obligations under the Documentary CreditForce Majeure and Frustration of Contract•Performance of a contract – including an obligation under a Documentary Credit relationship – is prevented by external factors such as natural disasters or armed conflictsRisks to the Applicant•Non-delivery of Goods•Short Shipment•Inferior Quality•Early /Late Shipment•Damaged in transit•Foreign exchange•Failure of Bank viz Issuing bank / Collecting BankRisks to the Issuing Bank•Insolvency of the Applicant•Fraud Risk, Sovereign and Regulatory Risk and Legal RisksRisks to the Reimbursing Bank•no obligation to reimburse the Claiming Bank unless it has issued a reimbursement undertaking.Risks to the Beneficiary•Failure to Comply with Credit Conditions•Failure of, or Delays in Payment from, the Issuing Bank•Credit Issued by Party other than BankRisks to the Advising Bank•The Advising Bank’s only obligation – if it accepts the Issuing Bank’s instructions – is to check the apparent authenticity of the Credit and advising it to the BeneficiaryRisks to the Nominated Bank•Nominated Bank has made a payment to the Beneficiary against documents that comply with the terms and conditions of the Credit and is unable to obtain reimbursement from the Issuing BankRisks to the Confirming Bank•If Confirming Bank’s main risk is that, once having paid the Beneficiary, it may not be able to obtain reimbursement from the Issuing Bank because of insolvency of the Issuing Bank or refusal of the Issuing Bank to reimburse because of a dispute as to whether or not payment should have been made under the CreditOther Risks in International Trade• A Credit risk risk from change in the credit of an opposing business.•An Exchange risk is a risk from a change in the foreign exchange rate.• A Force majeure risk is 1. a risk in trade incapability caused by a change in a country's policy, and 2. a risk caused by a natural disaster.•Other risks are mainly risks caused by a difference in law, language or culture.

• 1. Clean credit and documentary credit: Credits that only require clean draft, i.e. draft not accompanied with shipping documents, for payment are clean credit. They are generally used in non-trade settlement(非贸易结算) or in payment in advance by means of the L/C.

A letter of credit (L/C) is a financial instrument used in international trade to provide a guarantee of payment to the seller by the buyer's bank. It is a crucial tool for facilitating trade transactions and providing security to both parties involved. In this article, we will discuss the key components of a letter of credit, its benefits, and how it is used in international trade.Key Components of a Letter of Credit。
1. Parties involved: The letter of credit involves three main parties the buyer (importer), the seller (exporter), and the issuing bank. The buyer requests the issuing bank to issue a letter of credit in favor of the seller, which guarantees payment upon presentation of the required documents.2. Terms and conditions: The letter of credit specifies the terms and conditions under which the payment will be made. This includes the amount of payment, the documents required for payment, the expiry date of the credit, and any other specific requirements agreed upon by the buyer and the seller.3. Documents required: The seller must present specific documents, such as the commercial invoice, bill of lading, packing list, and certificate of origin, to the issuing bank in order to receive payment. These documents serve as evidence that the goods have been shipped and comply with the terms of the letter of credit.4. Confirmation: In some cases, the seller may request the letter of credit to be confirmed by a confirming bank, which provides an additional layer of security. The confirming bank undertakes to honor the credit if the issuing bank fails to do so.Benefits of a Letter of Credit。
The Letter of Credit
Lesson 2The Letter of Credit ( I )In international trade,it is almost impossible to match payment with physical delivery of the goods which constitutes conflicting problems to trade, since the exporter prefers to get paid before releasing the goods and the importer prefers to gain control over the goods before paying the money. The letter of credit is an effective means' to solve these problems. It objective is to facilitate international payment by means of the creditworthiness the bank. This method of payment offers .security to both the seller and the buyer. The former has the security to get paid provided he provided impeccable documents while the latter his the security to get: the goods required through the documents he stipulates in the credit. This bilateral security is the unique and characteristic feature of the letter of credit."Letter of credit is often shortened as L/C. and is sometimes referred to as "banker's commercial letter of credit", "banker's credit", "commercial credit" or simply "credit". Modern credits were introduced in the second half of the 19th century and had substantial development after the First World War. The credit is a letter issued by a bank at the request of the importer in which the bank promises to pay upon presentation of the relevant documents. It is actually a conditional bank undertaking of payment.The operation of the letter of credit starts with the importer. He instructs his bank to issue an L/C in favor of the seller for the amount of the purchase. Here the importer is called the applicant, or opener, principal etc. , the bank that issues the credit is called the opening bank, the issuing bank or the establishing bank, and the exporter in whose favour the credit is opened is called the beneficiary. The opening bank sends the credit to its correspondent bank in the exporter's country, who will, after examining the credit , advise the exporter of its receipt. Here the correspondent bank is called the advising bank. The exporter or beneficiary will make a careful examination of all the contents of the credit and will request the opener to make amendments to any discrepancies in the credit so as to ensure safe and timely payment. Sometimes the exporter may require a confirmed letter of credit8 either because the credit mount is too large, or because he does not fully trust the opening bank. The bank that adds its confirmation to the credit is called the confirming bank9 which is undertaken either by the advising bank or another prime bank. When everything with the credit is in order, the exporter will prepare the relevant documents10 based on the credit and dispatch the goods to the importer. Then he will present the draft and the accompanying documents" to the advising bank that pays or accepts or negotiates the bill of exchange''. The advising bank then also becomes the paying bank which acts as the agent of theopening bank. and gets reimbursed by the opening bank after paying the beneficiary. If a bank, either nominated by the opening bank or at its own choice, buys the exporter's draft submitted to it under a credit, it is called a negotiating bank. The draft and the documents will then be sent to the opening bank for reimbursement.Letters of credit are varied in form, length, language, and stipulations. Generally speaking, however, they include the following contents: 1. The number of the credit and the place and time of its establishment. 2. The type of the credit. 3. The contract on which it is based. 4. The major parties relevant to the credit, such as the applicant, opening bank, beneficiary, advising bank. etc.5. The amount or value of the credit.6. The place and date on which the credit expires.7. The description of the goods including name of commodity, quantity, specifications, packing, unit price, price terms, etc.8. Transportation clause including the port of shipment. the port of destination, the time of shipment, whether allowing partial shipments or transshipment.9. Stipulations relating to the draft. 10. Stipulations concerning the shipping documents required. 11. Certain special clauses if any, e. g. restrictions on the carrying vessel17 and the route. 12. Instructions to the negotiating bank. 13. The seal or signature of the opening bank. 14. Whether the credit follows "the uniform customs and practice for documentary credits.The letter of credit provides security to both the exporter and the importer. However, it only assures payment to the beneficiary provided the terms and conditions of the credit are fulfilled. It does not guarantee that the goods purchased will be those invoiced or shipped. It is stipulated in Article 4 of the uniform customs and practice for documentary credit that "in credit operations all parties concerned deal in documents, and not in goods, service and/or other performance to which the documents may relate". That is to say the banks are only concerned with the documents representing the goods instead of the underlying contracts. They have no legal obligation whether the goods comply with the contract. I hey will be considered as having fulfilled their responsibility so long as all the documents comply with the stipulations of the credit. The quality and quantity of merchandise shipped, although specified in the documents, ultimately depend on the seller who has manufactured,packaged, and arranged shipment for the goods. If the importer finds any problems with the goods, e. g. inferior quality or insuffi cient quantity, he has to contact or even take legal action against the exporter instead of the bank so long as the documents are "proper" on their face21.Words and Expressionsrelease vt. 放开gain control over 得到对….的控制objective n. 目的,目标impeccable a. 无缺点的,完全符合要求的bilateral a. 双边的unique a. 独特的security n. 安全,保障presentation n. 呈交,提示undertaking n. 承担applicant n. 开证申请人opening bank 开证银行beneficiary n. 受益人correspondent bank 往来行,关系行advising bank 通知行amendment n. 修改discrepancy n. 不符confirming bank 保兑行reimburse vt. 付款nominate vt. 指定submit n. 提交stipulation n. 规定expire vi. 满期,到期unit price 单价partial shipment 分批装运transshipment n. 转船seal n. 印章underlying a. 作为基础的obligation n. 责任,义务ultimately ad. 最终insufficient a. 不足的。

Letter of Credit What is L/C
信用证方式有三个特点 1. 信用证不依附于买卖合同,银行在审单 时强调的是信用证与基础贸易相分离的 书面形式上的认证。 2. 信用证是凭单付款,不以货物为准。只 要单据相符,开证行就应无条件付款。 3. 信用证是一种银行信用,它是银行的一 种担保文件。

目的:掌握如何申请开立信用证、或对信用证进行修改、延 期及相关的回复。
信用证(Letter of Credit)是国际贸易中最常用的支付方式, 不仅适用于个别交易,也适用于系列交易。信用证的开证 程序始于进口方。进口方通知开证行(Issuing Bank)开立 以出口方为受益人(Beneficiary)的信用证。信用证包含进 出口双方达成交易的详细内容。信用证开出后,由开证行 将信用证寄给出口方所在地的通知行(Notifying Bank)。 接到信用证后,银行和出口方会对信用证进行审核。根据 审核无误的信用证,出口方就可备货装运。装运后,出口 方就可以缮制符合信用证要求的单据,再据此向议付行 (Negotiation Bank)交单议付,取得货款。

Key Points
1. 货物已装运 2.还未收到信用证 3.请买方尽快开立信用证
Useful Expressions
Section 1 Usual practice on establishment of L/C
• The date of issuing L/C: The L/C is to be opened and to reach the seller one month prior to the date of shipment • The importance of prompt establishment L/C: 1. give the seller ample time to make the goods ready 2. enable the seller to book shipping space
Useful Sentences
• 1. An irrevocable, transferable L/C would be most appropriate.
不可撤销的可转让的信用证最合适。
• 2. We will open an irrevocable L/C in your favor within 10 days from the date of the contract.
Principles of writing letters urging establishment of L/C:
No suggestion of annoyance is allowed to be shown in the letter urging establishment of L/C. It is not advisable, except under special conditions, to start off too strongly by blaming the buyer for not executing the contract. The first message sent should therefore be a polite note saying that the goods ordered are ready but the relevant letter of credit has not yet be received. If the first message brings no reply, a second one will be sent. This one, though still restrained, will express disappointment and surprise.
从安全角度出发,我方坚持信用证付款。
