Acceptable Requirements for Descriptions Stated in Commercial Invoice under DC Focused on ICC DOCDEX Decisions

&nbsp;&nbsp;This study is to review the acceptable requirements for the descriptions stated in commercial invoice under documentary credits focused on ICC DOCDEX decisions.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;The ICC DOCDEX system is a mechanism to resolve disputes that arise under documentary credits. The requirements of commercial invoices under documentary credits are stipulated in sub-Articles 37(a)(b)(c) of UCP 500 and in Paras. 59-72 of ISBP. These stipulations are supported by a number of ICC DOCDEX decisions. According to the decisions, the description of goods in the invoice must correspond with the description in the credit. However, there is no requirement of a mirror image that the description must be exact or limited to that stated in the credit. Therefore, if any (extra) information which has been added to and/or omitted from the merchandise description of the invoice does not change the nature of the goods, such information cannot be considered as a discrepancy.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;By using the results of this study, it will be expected to reduce the number of commercial invoices not accepted by banks or applicants under documentary credits.
