A Study on the Originality and Signature of Documents under Documentary Credit Transactions

The purpose of this article is to study on the originality and signature of the Documents in letters of credit transactions. I analysed the rules, such as UCP 500, ICC Policy Statement and ICC Position Paper, to examine whether a document appears on its face to be an original document, as distinguished from a copy, and whether a document appears on its face to be a signature. With reference to the signature, banks will accept a bill of lading which appears on its face to indicate the name of the carrier and to have been signed or otherwise authenticated by the carrier or a named agent for or on behalf of the carrier, or the master or a named agent for or on behalf of the master.
