Article 11 Teletransmitted and Pre-Advised Credits and Amendments

第十一条 电讯传递与预先通知的信用证和修改

a. An authenticated teletransmission of a credit or amendment will be deemed to be the operative credit or amendment, and any subsequent mail confirmation shall be disregarded.

If a teletransmission states "full details to follow" (or words of similar effect), or states that the mail confirmation is to be the operative credit or amendment, then the teletransmission will not be deemed to be the operative credit or amendment. The issuing bank must then issue the operative credit or amendment without delay in terms not inconsistent with the teletransmission.

a. 经证实的信用证或修改的电讯文件将被视为有效的信用证或修改，任何随后的邮寄证实书将被不予置理。

若该电讯文件声明"详情后告"（或类似词语）或声明随后寄出的邮寄证实书将是有效的信用证或修改，则该电讯文件将被视为无效的信用证或修改。开证行必须随即不延误地开出有效的信用证或修改，且条款不能与与电讯文件相矛盾。

b. A preliminary advice of the issuance of a credit or amendment (“pre-advice”) shall only be sent if the issuing bank is prepared to issue the operative credit or amendment. An issuing bank that sends a pre-advice is irrevocably committed to issue the operative credit or amendment, without delay, in terms not inconsistent with the pre-advice.

b. 只有准备开立有效信用证或修改的开证行，才可以发出开立信用证或修改预先通知书。发出预先通知的开证行应不可撤销地承诺将不延误地开出有效的信用证或修改，且条款不能与预先通知书相矛盾。

Article 12 Nomination

第十二条 指定

a. Unless a nominated bank is the confirming bank, an authorization to honour or negotiate does not impose any obligation on that nominated bank to honour or negotiate, except when expressly agreed to by that nominated bank and so communicated to the beneficiary.

a. 除非一家被指定银行是保兑行，对被指定银行进行兑付或议付的授权并不构成其必须兑付或议付的义务，被指定银行明确同意并照此通知受益人的情形除外。

b. By nominating a bank to accept a draft or incur a deferred payment undertaking, an issuing bank authorizes that nominated bank to prepay or purchase a draft accepted or a deferred payment undertaking incurred by that nominated bank.

b. 通过指定一家银行承兑汇票或承担延期付款承诺，开证行即授权该被指定银行预付或购买经其承兑的汇票或由其承担延期付款的承诺。

c. Receipt or examination and forwarding of documents by a nominated bank that is not a confirming bank does not make that nominated bank liable to honour or negotiate, nor does it constitute honour or negotiation. 

c. 非保兑行身份的被指定银行接受、审核并寄送单据的行为既不使得该被指定银行具有兑付或议付的义务，也不构成兑付或议付。

Article 13 Bank-to-Bank Reimbursement Arrangements

第十三条 银行间偿付约定

a. If a credit states that reimbursement is to be obtained by a nominated bank ("claiming bank") claiming on another party ("reimbursing bank"), the credit must state if the reimbursement is subject to the ICC rules for bank-to-bank reimbursements in effect on the date of issuance of the credit.

a. 如果信用证规定被指定银行（“索偿行”）须通过向另一方银行（“偿付行”）索偿获得偿付，则信用证中必须声明是否按照信用证开立日正在生效的国际商会《银行间偿付规则》办理。

b. If a credit does not state that reimbursement is subject to the ICC rules for bank-to-bank reimbursements, the following apply:

b. 如果信用证中未声明是否按照国际商会《银行间偿付规则》办理，则适用于下列条款：

i. An issuing bank must provide a reimbursing bank with a reimbursement authorization that conforms with the availability stated in the credit. The reimbursement authorization should not be subject to an expiry date.

i. 开证行必须向偿付行提供偿付授权书，该授权书须与信用证中声明的有效性一致。偿付授权书不应规定有效日期。

ii. A claiming bank shall not be required to supply a reimbursing bank with a certificate of compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit.

ii. 不应要求索偿行向偿付行提供证实单据与信用证条款及条件相符的证明。

iii. An issuing bank will be responsible for any loss of interest, together with any expenses incurred, if reimbursement is not provided on first demand by a reimbursing bank in accordance with the terms and conditions of the credit.

iii. 如果偿付行未能按照信用证的条款及条件在首次索偿时即行偿付，则开证行应对索偿行的利息损失以及产生的费用负责。

iv. A reimbursing bank's charges are for the account of the issuing bank. However, if the charges are for the account of the beneficiary, it is the responsibility of an issuing bank to so indicate in the credit and in the reimbursement authorization. If a reimbursing bank's charges are for the account of the beneficiary, they shall be deducted from the amount due to a claiming bank when reimbursement is made. If no reimbursement is made, the reimbursing bank's charges remain the obligation of the issuing bank.

iv. 偿付行的费用应由开证行承担。然而，如果费用系由受益人承担，则开证行有责任在信用证和偿付授权书中予以注明。如偿付行的费用系由受益人承担，则该费用应在偿付时从支付索偿行的金额中扣除。如果未发生偿付，开证行仍有义务承担偿付行的费用。

c. An issuing bank is not relieved of any of its obligations to provide reimbursement if reimbursement is not made by a reimbursing bank on first demand.

c. 如果偿付行未能于首次索偿时即行偿付，则开证行不能解除其自身的偿付责任。

Article 14 Standard for Examination of Documents

第十四条 审核单据的标准

f.

f. 如果信用证要求提示运输单据、保险单据和商业发票以外的单据，但未规定该单据由何人出具或单据的内容。如信用证对此未 做规定，只要所提交单据的内容看来满足其功能需要且其它方面与十四条（d）款相符，银行将对提示的单据予以接受。

g. A document presented but not required by the credit will be disregarded and may be returned to the presenter.

g. 提示信用证中未要求提交的单据，银行将不予置理。如果收到此类单据，可以退还提示人。
