L/C常见软条款

Soft clause是在出口风险管理中，信用证软条款是出口商最为头疼的问题之一，也是中国

出口企业最为关注的问题。就目前国际间运作实务来看，一张带有软条款的信用证，其性质

从某种意义上来说，是一种欺诈。

实践中，比较常见的软条款主要有：

信用证暂时不生效，生效时间由银行另行通知。

信用证规定必须由申请人或其指定的签字人验货并签署合格证书，才能付款或生效。

信用证对银行的付款、承兑行为规定了若干前提条件，如货物清关后才支付、收到其他

银行的款项才支付等。

有关运输事项如船名、装船日期、装卸港等须以申请人修改后的通知为准。

信用证前后条款互相矛盾。

以下是一些常见的软条款案例：

1）

YOU TO

开证行发出的正本信用证修改,确认申请人在装运前已收样品,并接受其品质。

B/L小提醒：在信用证中常见的有不记名提单，也就是客户要求consigness为：to order

of 或者to the order of，这类的提单需要由shipper来背书转让，背书也可以分为记名背

书和不记名背书，记名背书可以由再次背书转让，不记名背书是谁拿到提单都可以提货的。

建议：在信用证条款下可以背书给偿付行或者议付行，相对可以降低风险。
