ICC Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP 600)
——the latest revision of the Uniform Customs and Practice that govern the operation
of letters of credit.


Foreword


This revision of the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits
(commonly called “UCP”) is the sixth revision of the rules since they were first
promulgated in 1933. It is the fruit of more than three years of work by the
International Chamber of Commerce’s (ICC) Commission on Banking Technique and
Practice.


ICC, which was established in 1919, had as its primary objective facilitating the flow
of international trade at a time when nationalism and protectionism posed serious
threats to the world trading system. It was in that spirit that the UCP were first
introduced – to alleviate the confusion caused by individual countries’ promoting their
own national rules on letter of credit practice. The objective, since attained, was to
create a set of contractual rules that would establish uniformity in that practice, so that
practitioners would not have to cope with a plethora of often conflicting national
regulations. The universal acceptance of the UCP by practitioners in countries with
widely divergent economic and judicial systems is a testament to the rules’ success.


It is important to recall that the UCP represent the work of a private international
organization, not a governmental body. Since its inception, ICC has insisted on the
central role of self-regulation in business practice. These rules, formulated entirely by
experts in the private sector, have validated that approach. The UCP remain the most
successful set of private rules for trade ever developed.


A range of individuals and groups contributed to the current revision, which is entitled
UCP 600. These include the UCP Drafting Group, which sifted through more than
5000 individual comments before arriving at this consensus text; the UCP Consulting
Group, consisting of members from more than 25 countries, which served as the
advisory body reacting to and proposing changes to the various drafts; the more than
400 members of the ICC Commission on Banking Technique and Practice who made
pertinent suggestions for changes in the text; and ICC national committees worldwide
which took an active role in consolidating comments from their members. ICC also
expresses its gratitude to practitioners in the transport and insurance industries, whose
perceptive suggestions honed the final draft.
