四、有關轉開信用狀上加註“Subject to the Final Payment”條款,國際商會亦曾
對類似特殊付款條件之信用狀表示意見如下:
案例
某 SEC L/C 之受益人 (出口商) 接獲一不可撤銷信用狀,內載一特別條款
(Special Condition)。
Payment of draft drawn hereunder will be made only after the realization of the
re-export proceeds program.
受益人將貨物裝運出口後,向銀行申請押匯,押匯銀行以該信用狀含特
殊條款未便受理,受益人則請求該銀行將單據寄往開狀銀行請求付款,
開狀銀行表示,雖然單據符合信用狀條款,但由於信用狀含特殊條款
「再出口貨款尚未收到」,故未便付款。
國際商會 (ICC) 對本案例研究之結論意見如下:
原文:
“‧That this was a case where the wording of the credit had not been fully
studied and its implications realized.
‧That such a letter of credit provided no security and should never have been
issued.
‧That by using such a credit the beneficiary was fully responsible for the loss
of the goods and the money.
‧That advising this type of credit was not a service to the banking industry.”
-ICC Publication No.535, Jun.1995.Case 1
中譯:
‧這是一件對信用狀文義未詳細研討之案例,且不瞭解其付款之限制。
‧此類信用狀無法對受益人提供付款保證,故不應予開發。
‧受益人如接受此類信用狀,則本身須對於貨物及款項之損失負責。
