Conditions of the Credit will not be changed without the permission and consent of the exporter as long as it is irrevocable. In Letter of credit, normally four parties are involved: (1) The Buyer (the applicant) (2) The Buyer's bank (the issuing) (3) The Beneficiary (the seller/payee) (4) The beneficiary's bank (the ADVISING BANK). (5) The CONFIRMING BANK (often the same as the advising bank) The LC outlines the conditions under which payment (credit) will be made to a third party (the Beneficiary).

...incorporation into letters of credit from 1st July 2007 and replaces UCP 500. It is expected that letters of credit issued after that date will be subject to the UCP 600. The UCP 500 has not been repealed and as such and in principle, parties could still opt for the UCP 500. Rationale for the UCP 600 Revisions of the UCP 500 were initiated by International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) which mandated the Banking Commission of the ICC to bring the UCP procedure in line with the present times. Though the UCP 500 had obvious benefits, the international business community found the procedure embedded in the UCP 500 cumbersome and open to ambiguity, error and document rejections. New and Simplified Structure One striking feature of the UCP 600 is its lean and simplified look. It is set out in a new and simplified structure. The number of articles have been reduced from 49 to 39. The practice of position papers which were issued previously to clarify rules have been discontinued. The old UCP 500 was subjected to major drafting changes. Every single article has been re-drafted and tightened with a view to not only to bringing simplicity and clarity to the language but to remove ambiguity and reduce document rejections. UCP 600 Summary of New Provisions Set out below is a summary of the new provisions: • a leaner set of rules, with 38 articles rather than 49 articles; • a new section of “Definitions”, containing terms such as “honour”, “credit” and “negotiation”; ...
