It was established by the international chamber of commerce (ICC) to mitigate the doubts caused by individual countries promoting their own national rules on documentary credit practice. The objective, since attained, was to create a set of contractual rules that would establish uniformity in that practice, obtain global understanding, a common interpretation and application of documentary credit, so that practitioners would not have to cope with plenty of conflicting national regulations. UCP is the most successful set of private rules for trade ever developed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104764\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-414x233.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-356x200.jpg 356w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-444x250.jpg 444w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-288x162.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-283x159.jpg 283w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-219x123.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History-285x160.jpg 285w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/2-UCP-History.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-ucp-500-versus-ucp-600-a-brief-history\">UCP 500 versus UCP 600 \u2013 A brief history<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The first version of the rules published by ICC in 1933 known as (UCP 82), it has been revised six times to keep pace with market needs and practices, in 1951 (UCP 151), 1962 (UCP 222), 1974 (UCP 290), 1983 (UCP 400), 1993 (UCP 500) and the latest version in 2007 known as (UCP 600).

commentary explaining and analysing each article and sub-article of UCP 600 and cross-reference to other articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The commentary reflects the view of the drafting group, users of the commentary should also be aware that the decision to accept or reject documents depends on the terms and conditions of the credit, the applicable provisions of UCP 600 not the commentary and international standard banking practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The introduction to the commentary on UCP 600 states:<em>&nbsp;\u2018the writing of the Commentary proved to be more difficult than drafting the rules themselves.\u2019<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>With around 5000 comments received by the Drafting Group during the revision process, it was impossible for them to provide feedback on every issue that did or did not make it into the text of UCP 600.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>These issues included, amongst others, the following items:<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:16px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>Should the words \u201con its face\u201d remain within the UCP?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>What was the value of the concept of \u201creasonable time\u201d when there was no common standard for determining reasonableness globally?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>Should the UCP now reflect the growing practice of documentary credits being issued by non-banks, by substituting \u201cissuer\u201d, \u201cconfirmer\u201d, etc., for the terms \u201cissuing bank\u201d, \u201cconfirming bank\u201d, etc., that had been used in past UCPs?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>Was a majority of the Banking Commission in favour of including a rule covering the ability of a nominated bank to prepay or purchase a draft it accepted or a deferred payment it incurred?<\/em><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>Was there a need for an equivalent of UCP 500 article 30 when the UCP transport document articles do not mention who is actually to \u201cissue\u201d the respective transport document?<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><em>All of the points were debated at some length by national committees tasked with providing input, so that the Drafting Group could gauge where their representatives on the Banking Commission wished an article to be positioned.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The objective of the commentary to enlighten practitioners about the processes behind the changes in each&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lawinsider.com\/dictionary\/ucp-600\">article<\/a>&nbsp;and to explain why a change was introduced, why no change was made, why some issues may appear new but are not, i.e., a clarification rather than a change, and to suggest the way the wording in UCP 600 should be understood and applied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-after-ucp-600\">After UCP 600<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img

class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-urr-725\">URR 725<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">As a result of the huge growth in the volume of inter-bank currency reimbursements remained largely subject to locally accepted practice in the major financial centres, with the one exception of the U.S.A, where banks had formulated their own operating rules, moreover, the practices around bank-to-bank reimbursements under documentary credits developed into more complicated procedures followed by banks not a party to the documentary credits providing the beneficiary with reimbursement promptly. To meet the need for international standards and to assist trade facilitation, the ICC banking commission authorized a working party to draft the Uniform Rules for Bank-to-Bank Reimbursements (URR 525) in 1993 and implemented on 1 July 1996.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">The update to URR 525 was necessary to bring the URR rules into conformity with the UCP 600, in April 2008 URR 725 was approved by the ICC national committees and implemented in October 2008. URR 725 should not be seen as a revision of URR 525. It is an updating process that has followed the same manner as the eUCP, i.e. to change the style to match that of UCP 600.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Banks that are requested or authorized to add their confirmation often require from an issuing bank before adding their confirmation to specify a reimbursing bank instead of reimbursed directly by an issuing bank. UCP 600 article 13, covers basic principles for bank-to-bank reimbursements. URR 725 covers these principles in more details and clarification, such as general provisions and definitions, liabilities and responsibilities, form and notification of authorizations, amendments and claims and miscellaneous provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-contents-of-urr-725\">The contents of URR 725<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">It comprises of 17 articles as the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:16px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Application of URR<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Definitions<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Reimbursement Authorizations Versus Credits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Honour of a Reimbursement Claim<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Responsibility of the Issuing Bank<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Issuance and Receipt of a Reimbursement Authorization or Reimbursement Amendment<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Expiry of a Reimbursement Authorization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Amendment or Cancellation of a Reimbursement Authorization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Reimbursement Undertaking<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Standards for a Reimbursement Claim<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Processing a Reimbursement Claim<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Duplication of a Reimbursement Authorization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Foreign Laws and Usages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Disclaimer on the Transmission of Messages<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Force Majeure<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Charges<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Interest Claims\/Loss of Value<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-104822\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-414x233.jpg 414w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-533x300.jpg 533w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-356x200.jpg 356w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-444x250.jpg 444w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-288x162.jpg 288w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-283x159.jpg 283w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-219x123.jpg 219w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745-285x160.jpg 285w, https:\/\/www.tradefinanceglobal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/6-The-ISBP-745.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-isbp-745\">What is ISBP 745?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">With the approval of UCP 600 in October 2006, it has become necessary to provide an updated version of the International Standard Banking Practice for the Examination of Documents under Documentary Credits (ISBP 645).

It filled a gap between the general rules of the UCP 600 and the daily job of the documentary credit practitioners and provides coverage of documents which are not specifically mentioned in UCP 600, as well as, it serves as a valuable tool for parties to correctly apply the principles of UCP 600 and accurately interpret and clarify conditions appearing within documentary credits, it covers a range of practices outlined by ICC Opinions issued since 2007, decisions of the ICC Banking Commission, and has been extended to cover documents including non-negotiable sea waybill, beneficiary certificate,&nbsp; packing list, weight list, beneficiary certificates, analysis, inspection, health, phytosanitary, quantity and quality certificates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">It should be noted ISBP 745 doesn\u2019t modify or exclude UCP 600 articles and both should be read in their entirety and not in isolation. To emphasize this point, paragraph i. of Preliminary Considerations reads \u201cThis publication is to be read in conjunction with UCP 600 and not in isolation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Thierry Senechal, ICC Senior Policy Manager and Banking Commission Executive Secretary said:<em>&nbsp;\u201cThis guide has developed into an invaluable aid to banks, corporates, logistics specialists and insurance companies alike, on a global basis, when creating documents for presentation, or for the examination of documents presented under, a documentary credit.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">Gary Collyer, Chair of the Drafting Group for the revision of ISBP, said:<em>&nbsp;\u201cRejection rates have decreased since the original launch of the ISBP guide in 2002 and it is acknowledged that a major contributing factor to this is the application of the practices detailed in ISBP.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2

UCP?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">UCP rules revised six times since the first publication in 1933, the period between each revision range from 9 to 14 years, on 15<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp; June 2017 ICC Executive Committee released a document NO.470\/1272 to announce their decision after the voting that held with National Committee Forum in Rome on 8<sup>th<\/sup>&nbsp;November 2016 and on 23<sup>rd<\/sup>&nbsp;November 2016 in Paris in respect of a revision of UCP 600, the results were that the majority of National Committees preferred not to proceed with a revision, despite there were

at this stage, to be appropriate to revise UCP 600 as the most of the problems lay not with the rules themselves, but with the application, i.e. practice of the rules (\u201cinternational standard banking practice\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\">50% of the problems apply to the presented documents: it is a justifiable assumption that a greater understanding of ISBP 745 would help alleviate these problems and greatly reduce this percentage, the remaining 50%, it is difficult to see how a revision of UCP would make much of a material difference as many of these causes are outside the scope of correction by the beneficiary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"903\"

following recommendations should be considered which could potentially reduce discrepancy ratios under documentary credits, as the rates of non-compliance are quite high, specifically on the first presentation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul style=\"font-size:16px\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">As stated in ISBP 745 Preliminary Considerations (iv), \u2018many of the problems that arise at the document examination stage could be avoided or resolved by the respective parties through careful attention to detail in the credit or amendment application and issuance of the credit or any amendment thereto\u2019.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">An issuing bank should ensure that any credit or amendment it issues is not ambiguous or its wording subject to more than one interpretation and conflicting in its terms and conditions as most of the difficulties and complications that arise from poorly or badly drafted credits.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Avoid inserting excessive details and including terms which only belong to an underlying agreement\/contract that cause unintended consequences and payment delays.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">The applicant and beneficiary should carefully consider the documents required for presentation, by whom they are to be issued, their data content and the time frame in which they are to be presented.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Documentary credits must not include conditions for which fulfilment cannot be ascertained from the face of a document.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Avoiding as much as possible to exclude or modify specific articles or sub-articles of UCP 600 unless that is necessary.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Only necessary documents should be required by the credit and ensure the document descriptions are as simple as possible at the same time to meet any contractual requirements.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li style=\"font-size:16px\">Avoid adding generic requirements that are to apply to all presented documents.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2
