鎢制品出口備用信用證樣本
國際商會“UCP 500”規定,該慣例也適用于備用信用征(Standby L/C)。
鎢制品備用信用證的定義和前述信用證的定義並無不同,都是銀行(開證行)應申請人的請求,向受益人開立的,在壹定條件下憑規定的單據向受益人支付壹定款項的書面憑證。所不同的是,規定的單據不同。備用信用證要求受益人提交的單據,不是貨運單據,而是受益人出具的關于申請人違約的聲明或證明。
傳統的銀行保函有可能使銀行卷入商業糾紛,美、日等國的法律禁止銀行開立保函。于是美國銀行采用備用信用證的形式,對國際經濟交易行爲提供擔保。隨著銀行保函在應用中性質的變化,特別是1992年國際商會《見索即付保函統壹規則》的公布,銀行保函和備用信用證的內容和作用已趨壹致。所不同的只是兩者遵循的慣例不同。備用信用證運用于“UCP 500”,而銀行保函則適用于上述《規則》。
鎢制品備用信用證是擔保銀行向貼現或貸款銀行承諾到期爲借款方償還債務,如果借款方到期償還了貸款,那麽,備用信用證就備而不用,如果,借款方到期不歸還貸款,那麽,備用信用證就起作用,擔保銀行就要爲借款方向貸款銀行償還貸款。備用信用證有無條件兌付信用證和有條件兌付信用證。
