Ucp 600

Documentary credits, often called letters of credit, keep international commerce running, and the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) has written the rules that govern them worldwide for over seven decades. The Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits are widely regarded as the most successful privately made rules in trade. Bankers, merchants, lawyers, carriers, scholars, and anyone else handling these transactions around the globe rely on them.

This edition presents UCP 600, which took effect on July 1, 2007 and introduced significant revisions to the earlier rules that international business professionals must understand. It also contains eUCP, the ICC supplement covering documents presented in electronic or partly electronic form, along with a glossary of international trade terms.
