Article 4 Credits v. Contracts
第四條 信用證與合同
a. A credit by its nature is a separate transaction from the sale or other contract
on which it may be based. Banks are in no way concerned with or bound by such
contract, even if any reference whatsoever to it is included in the credit.
Consequently, the undertaking of a bank to honour, to negotiate or to fulfil any other
obligation under the credit is not subject to claims or defences by the applicant
resulting from its relationships with the issuing bank or the beneficiary.
A beneficiary can in no case avail itself of the contractual relationships existing
between banks or between the applicant and the issuing bank.
a. 就性質(zhì)而言，信用證與可能作為其依據(jù)的銷售合同或其它合同，是相互獨(dú)立的交易。即使信用證中提及該合同，銀行亦與該合同完全無(wú)關(guān)，且不受其約束。因此，一家銀行作出兌付、議付或履行信用證項(xiàng)下其它義務(wù)的承諾，并不受申請(qǐng)人與開(kāi)證行之間或與受益人之間在已有關(guān)系下產(chǎn)生的索償或抗辯的制約。
受益人在任何情況下，不得利用銀行之間或申請(qǐng)人與開(kāi)證行之間的契約關(guān)系。
b. An issuing bank should discourage any attempt by the applicant to include, as an
integral part of the credit, copies of the underlying contract, proforma invoice and
the like.
b. 開(kāi)證行應(yīng)勸阻申請(qǐng)人將基礎(chǔ)合同、形式發(fā)票或其它類似文件的副本作為信用證整體組成部分的作法。

第五條 單據(jù)與貨物／服務(wù)／行為
Banks deal with documents and not with goods, services or performance to which the
documents may relate .

satisfied itself as to the apparent authenticity of the credit or amendment and that
the advice accurately reflects the terms and conditions of the credit or amendment
received.

c. An advising bank may utilize the services of another bank (“second advising bank”)
to advise the credit and any amendment to the beneficiary. By advising the credit or
amendment, the second advising bank signifies that it has satisfied itself as to the

reflects the terms and conditions of the credit or amendment received.

b. An issuing bank is irrevocably bound by an amendment as of the time it issues the
amendment. A confirming bank may extend its confirmation to an amendment and will be

however, choose to advise an amendment without extending its confirmation and, if so,
it must inform the issuing bank without delay and inform the beneficiary in its advice.
b. 自發(fā)出信用證修改書(shū)之時(shí)起，開(kāi)證行就不可撤銷地受其發(fā)出修改的約束。保兌行可將其保兌承諾擴(kuò)展至修改內(nèi)容，且自其通知該修改之時(shí)起，即不可撤銷地受到該修改的約束。然而，保兌行可選擇僅將修改通知受益人而不對(duì)其加具保兌，但必須不延誤地將此情況通知開(kāi)證行和受益人。
c. The terms and conditions of the original credit (or a credit incorporating
previously accepted amendments) will remain in force for the beneficiary until
the beneficiary communicates its acceptance of the amendment to the bank that advised
such amendment. The beneficiary should give notification of acceptance or rejection of
an amendment. If the beneficiary fails to give such notification, a presentation that
complies with the credit and to any not yet accepted amendment will be deemed to be
notification of acceptance by the beneficiary of such amendment. As of that moment the
credit will be amended.
c. 在受益人向通知修改的銀行表示接受該修改內(nèi)容之前，原信用證（或包含先前已被接受修改的信用證）的條款和條件對(duì)受益人仍然有效。受益人應(yīng)發(fā)出接受或拒絕接受修改的通知。如受益人未提供上述通知，當(dāng)其提交至被指定銀行或開(kāi)證行的單據(jù)與信用證以及尚未表示接受的修改的要求一致時(shí)，則該事實(shí)即視為受益人已作出接受修改的通知，并從此時(shí)起，該信用證已被修改。
d. A bank that advises an amendment should inform the bank from which it received the
amendment of any notification of acceptance or rejection.
d. 通知修改的銀行應(yīng)當(dāng)通知向其發(fā)出修改書(shū)的銀行任何有關(guān)接受或拒絕接受修改的通知。

unless rejected by the beneficiary within a certain time shall be disregarded.

operative credit or amendment, and any subsequent mail confirmation shall be
disregarded.

or states that the mail confirmation is to be the operative credit or amendment, then
the teletransmission will not be deemed to be the operative credit or amendment. The
issuing bank must then issue the operative credit or amendment without delay in terms
not inconsistent with the teletransmission.
a. 經(jīng)證實(shí)的信用證或修改的電訊文件將被視為有效的信用證或修改，任何隨后的郵寄證實(shí)書(shū)將被不予置理。
若該電訊文件聲明"詳情后告"（或類似詞語(yǔ)）或聲明隨后寄出的郵寄證實(shí)書(shū)將是有效的信用證或修改，則該電訊文件將被視為無(wú)效的信用證或修改。開(kāi)證行必須隨即不延誤地開(kāi)出有效的信用證或修改，且條款不能與與電訊文件相矛盾。
b. A preliminary advice of the issuance of a credit or amendment (“pre-advice”) shall only be sent if the issuing bank is prepared to issue the operative
credit or amendment. An issuing bank that sends a pre-advice is irrevocably committed to issue the operative credit or amendment, without
delay, in terms not inconsistent with the pre-advice.
b. 只有準(zhǔn)備開(kāi)立有效信用證或修改的開(kāi)證行，才可以發(fā)出開(kāi)立信用證或修改預(yù)先通知書(shū)。發(fā)出預(yù)先通知的開(kāi)證行應(yīng)不可撤銷地承諾將不延誤地開(kāi)出有效的信用證或修改，且條款不能與預(yù)先通知書(shū)相矛盾。

b. By nominating a bank to accept a draft or incur a deferred payment undertaking, an
issuing bank authorizes that nominated bank to prepay or purchase a draft accepted or
a deferred payment undertaking incurred by that nominated bank.
b. 通過(guò)指定一家銀行承兌匯票或承擔(dān)延期付款承諾，開(kāi)證行即授權(quán)該被指定銀行預(yù)付或購(gòu)買(mǎi)經(jīng)其承兌的匯票或由其承擔(dān)延期付款的承諾。
c. Receipt or examination and forwarding of documents by a nominated bank that is not
a confirming bank does not make that nominated bank liable to honour or negotiate,
nor does it constitute honour or negotiation.

Article 4 Credits v. Contracts
第四條 信用證與合同
a. A credit by its nature is a separate transaction from the sale or other contract
on which it may be based. Banks are in no way concerned with or bound by such
contract, even if any reference whatsoever to it is included in the credit.
Consequently, the undertaking of a bank to honour, to negotiate or to fulfil any other
obligation under the credit is not subject to claims or defences by the applicant
resulting from its relationships with the issuing bank or the beneficiary.
A beneficiary can in no case avail itself of the contractual relationships existing
between banks or between the applicant and the issuing bank.
a. 就性質(zhì)而言，信用證與可能作為其依據(jù)的銷售合同或其它合同，是相互獨(dú)立的交易。即使信用證中提及該合同，銀行亦與該合同完全無(wú)關(guān)，且不受其約束。因此，一家銀行作出兌付、議付或履行信用證項(xiàng)下其它義務(wù)的承諾，并不受申請(qǐng)人與開(kāi)證行之間或與受益人之間在已有關(guān)系下產(chǎn)生的索償或抗辯的制約。
受益人在任何情況下，不得利用銀行之間或申請(qǐng)人與開(kāi)證行之間的契約關(guān)系。
b. An issuing bank should discourage any attempt by the applicant to include, as an
integral part of the credit, copies of the underlying contract, proforma invoice and
the like.
b. 開(kāi)證行應(yīng)勸阻申請(qǐng)人將基礎(chǔ)合同、形式發(fā)票或其它類似文件的副本作為信用證整體組成部分的作法。

satisfied itself as to the apparent authenticity of the credit or amendment and that

c. An advising bank may utilize the services of another bank (“second advising bank”)
to advise the credit and any amendment to the beneficiary. By advising the credit or
amendment, the second advising bank signifies that it has satisfied itself as to the

the beneficiary.

b. An issuing bank is irrevocably bound by an amendment as of the time it issues the
amendment. A confirming bank may extend its confirmation to an amendment and will be

however, choose to advise an amendment without extending its confirmation and, if so,
it must inform the issuing bank without delay and inform the beneficiary in its advice.
b. 自發(fā)出信用證修改書(shū)之時(shí)起，開(kāi)證行就不可撤銷地受其發(fā)出修改的約束。保兌行可將其保兌承諾擴(kuò)展至修改內(nèi)容，且自其通知該修改之時(shí)起，即不可撤銷地受到該修改的約束。然而，保兌行可選擇僅將修改通知受益人而不對(duì)其加具保兌，但必須不延誤地將此情況通知開(kāi)證行和受益人。
c. The terms and conditions of the original credit (or a credit incorporating
previously accepted amendments) will remain in force for the beneficiary until
the beneficiary communicates its acceptance of the amendment to the bank that advised
such amendment. The beneficiary should give notification of acceptance or rejection of
an amendment. If the beneficiary fails to give such notification, a presentation that
complies with the credit and to any not yet accepted amendment will be deemed to be
notification of acceptance by the beneficiary of such amendment. As of that moment the
credit will be amended.
c. 在受益人向通知修改的銀行表示接受該修改內(nèi)容之前，原信用證（或包含先前已被接受修改的信用證）的條款和條件對(duì)受益人仍然有效。受益人應(yīng)發(fā)出接受或拒絕接受修改的通知。如受益人未提供上述通知，當(dāng)其提交至被指定銀行或開(kāi)證行的單據(jù)與信用證以及尚未表示接受的修改的要求一致時(shí)，則該事實(shí)即視為受益人已作出接受修改的通知，并從此時(shí)起，該信用證已被修改。
d. A bank that advises an amendment should inform the bank from which it received the
amendment of any notification of acceptance or rejection.
d. 通知修改的銀行應(yīng)當(dāng)通知向其發(fā)出修改書(shū)的銀行任何有關(guān)接受或拒絕接受修改的通知。

unless rejected by the beneficiary within a certain time shall be disregarded.

operative credit or amendment, and any subsequent mail confirmation shall be
disregarded.

the teletransmission will not be deemed to be the operative credit or amendment. The
issuing bank must then issue the operative credit or amendment without delay in terms
not inconsistent with the teletransmission.
a. 經(jīng)證實(shí)的信用證或修改的電訊文件將被視為有效的信用證或修改，任何隨后的郵寄證實(shí)書(shū)將被不予置理。
若該電訊文件聲明"詳情后告"（或類似詞語(yǔ)）或聲明隨后寄出的郵寄證實(shí)書(shū)將是有效的信用證或修改，則該電訊文件將被視為無(wú)效的信用證或修改。開(kāi)證行必須隨即不延誤地開(kāi)出有效的信用證或修改，且條款不能與與電訊文件相矛盾。
b. A preliminary advice of the issuance of a credit or amendment (“pre-advice”) shall only be sent if the issuing bank is prepared to issue the operative
