General Principles of ICC International Standard Banking Practice for the Examination of Documents under Documentary Credits

The International Standard Banking Practice for the Examination of Documents under Documentary Credits (ISBP) is the product of two and a half years of work by a task force of the International Chamber of Commerce Banking Commission at its meeting in Rome in October 31, 2002. The ISBP has been written as a supplement to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits(UCP 500). The ISBP does not amend the UCP. The ISBP contains 200 paragraphs and standards such as preliminary considerations, Insurance Documents and Certificate of Origin, Among them, I reviewed the preliminary considerations and general principles on 16 terms including abbreviations, corrections and alterations, dates, documents for which the UCP transport articles do not apply, expressions not defined in UCP, inconsistency in the documents, misspellings typing errors, original and copies, shipping marks and signatures, etc. The ISBP will attempt to identify guidelines for preparations and examination of typical documents. My goal is to provide information that will introduce these new standards for examination of documents under documentary credit. By using the ISBP, document checkers, ISBP is expected to reduce in the number of documents refused for discrepancies on first presentation. I hope this paper will encourage the banks and traders to know how to apply ISBP to the Credit transactions.
