ISBP는 2002년 화환신용장통일규칙(UCP 500) 하에서 ISBP645가 처음 발간된 이래, 2007년 화환신용장통일규칙이 UCP600으로 개정되자 이에 맞춰 ISBP681로 개정되었고, 다시 2013년 ISBP745가 발간된 것이다. 따라서 ISBP745는 ISBP의 세 번째 버전이자, 두 번째 개정이 되는 셈이다. ISBP의 두 번째 버전인 ISBP681은 UCP의 개정에 따른 것이나, ISBP745는 기존의 ISBP681이 시간 제약에 따라 개정보다는 업데이트 수준에 머물러 국제표준은행관행을 제대로 반영하지 못한다는 지적과 UCP600이 시행된 이후 상당한 기간이 경과되어 새로운 관행을 반영하여야 한다는 등의 개정필요성이 제기됨에 따라 UCP600하에서 다시 개정된 것이라 할 것이다. 신용장 거래에서 요구하는 서류는 매우 다양하며 ISBP745는 이와 같은 현실을 반영하여 ISBP681에서 규정한 원산지 증명서와 선적전검사증명서, 분석증명서, 검사증명서 이외에 추가적인 서류에 대하여 언급하고 이에 대한 판단근거를 제시하는 등의 추가적인 개정이 이루어졌다. 본 연구는 이러한 상황의 변화에 따라 ISBP745의 주요 개정 내용을 살펴보고, 특히 수익자증명서, 포장명세서, 중량증명서, 분석증명서, 훈증증명서 등 ISBP745에서 새롭게 추가된 서류의 심사기준과 실무적 적용에 관한 시사점을 얻고자 하였다. 또한 ISBP745에는 포함되지 않았으나 신용장 조건에서 빈번하게 요구되는 각종 증명서와 통지서 등에 대한 고찰을 통하여 신용장의 서류조건 일치에 대한 분석과 이에 따른 시사점을 도출하고자 하였다. 실무업계에서는 신용장의 문구를 세밀하게 살펴보고 신용장 조항에 나타난 다양한 선적서류들에 대한 지시사항과 ISBP 규정을 숙지하여 신용장 거래에 있어 서류불일치로 인하여 발생하는 시간과 비용의 문제들을 해결하여야 할 것이다.

ICC 은행위원회는 2007년 7월 1일 UCP600의 개정과 함께 ISBP도 이와 함께 적용될 수 있도록 업데이트된 ISBP 681을 마련하였다. 그 후 약 6년이 지난 현재 각국 위원회의 의견을 수렴하여 2013년 ISBP745로 내용이 개정되었다. 신용장거래에서 서류심사를 위한 국제표준은행관행인 ISBP 745는 각 항목별로 구분하여 A~Q로 항목을 구분하고 있으며 UCP 600과 용어의 일치나 내용을 맞추기 위한 노력을 하였다. 이러한 노력에도 불구하고 ISBP 745가 이번 개정에서도 일부 모호한 내용을 포함하고 있다. 대표적으로 환어음 만기일 계산과 관련하여 일부 모호한 내용을 포함하고 있으며 그 이외의 사항에 대하여도 검토가 필요하다고 할 수 있다. 일반적으로 ISBP는 UCP 600과 ICC 은행위원회의 의견 및 결정(decisions) 내용과 일치된다고 할 수 있으며 따라서 거래당사자 모두 UCP 600에 준거한 신용장거래는 UCP 600 뿐만 아니라 ISBP 745를 명확하게 이해하여 신용장거래에서 서류의 불일치로 인하여 대금지급이 거절되는 것을 사전에 예방하기 위한 노력을 하여야 할 것이다.

ISBP 745는 ICC 은행기술관행위원회에 의하여 개정된 화환신용장에 의한 서류심사에 관한 국제표준은행관행(International Standard Banking Practice for the Examination of Documents under documentary credits)으로서 2013년 4월 17일에 승인됨과 동시에 시행되었다. 이 ISBP는 신용장거래에서 환어음뿐만 아니라 환어음에 첨부되어 제시되는 모든 선적서류의 심사기준을 제시한 것으로서, 특히 이 중에서도 자유무역협정에 따라 그 중요성이 매우 높아지고 있는 원산지증명서에 관한 심사기준도 제시하고 있다. 따라서, ISBP 745의 원산지증명서조항이 종전의 ISBP 681의 원산지증명서조항과 비교하여 개정된 것이 무엇이며, 특히 원산지증명서와 관련된 조항에서 원산지증명서의 심사기준에 대하여 그 내용을 구체적으로 살펴보고, 신용장의 서류심사과정에서 발생하는 원산지증명서의 사례를 중심으로 불일치여 부에 대한 해석기준을 제시하였다.

The International Standard Banking Practice for the Examination of Documents under UCP 600 (ISBP 745) is the product by the Drafting Group of the ICC Banking Commission during a number of years. ISBP 745 is a practical complement to UCP 600, ICC's universally used rules on documentary credits. ISBP 745 does not amend UCP 600. Two rules should be read in their entirety and not in isolation. ISBP 745 explains, in explicit detail, how the UCP 600 rules are to be applied on a day-to-day basis. It fills a needed gap between the general principles announced in UCP 600 and the daily work of the documentary credit practitioners. It has developed into an invaluable aid to banks, corporates, logistics and insurance companies alike, on a global basis. By using ISBP 745, document checkers can bring their practices in line with those followed by their colleagues worldwide. The result should be a significant reduction in the number of shipping documents refused for discrepancies on first presentation. This study aims to summarize the reasons for revision of the ISBP rules and the key-points of ISBP 745, and to provide the documentary credit practitioners with some considerations under its practical application.

The International Standard Banking Practice for the Examination of Documents under Documentary Letters of Credit (ISBP) is the product by the ICC Banking Commission, October 2002. The ISBP is a practical complement to UCP 500, ICC's universally used rules on documentary credits. It explains, in explicit detail, how the rules are to be applied on a day-to-day basis. It fills a needed gap between the general principles announced in the rules and the daily work of the documentary credit practitioner. By using the ISBP, document checkers can bring their practices in line with those followed by their colleagues worldwide. The result should be a significant reduction in the number of documents refused for discrepancies on first presentation. We are convinced that the benefits of the ISBP will not only be of high importance for users of UCP 500, but also that the practices in the ISBP will survive a UCP revision, or will even be included in the next version of the rule (so call "UCP 600"). Though the above-mentioned benefits of the ISBP, there are several troublesome topics that will probably have to wait for a new UCP revision. It will be a challenge for the drafters of a future UCP to find solutions that will further clarify these points.

The updated International Standard Banking Practice(ISBP), International Chamber of Commerce Publication No. 681, was published to bring its contents in line with UCP 600. The ISBP 681 has dealt with 185 paragraphs from paragraphs 200 of ISBP 645 that are commonly arising in the credit transactions and also explains in detail some of the articles of UCP 600 with the proper interpretation. The updated version ISBP 681 involved aligning it with UCP 600, making certain technical adjustments in expression of words such as "in conflict" instead of "inconsistent", etc. Also descriptions of goods in commercial invoice to be altered the words into "services or performance" in addition to "goods". Despite the updated ISBP 681, there remains a question. Where the words "from" or "after" are used in regard to something other than a period of shipment or the maturity date of drafts, there is no guidance from the UCP as to its meaning. The party concerned in credit transactions is also required to have a full understanding of the paragraphs of ISBP 681 and the articles of UCP 600 in order to acquire the documents preparation and examination facilitating the parties to minimize discrepancies.

Many presentations of documents are rejected because credits have been incorrectly issued. One reason of rejecting the documents is related with error in application stage of L/C. Errors may take the form of mismatches between the terms of the sales contract and the provisions stipulated in the credit. Thus, Article 5 encourages applicants to make their contribution to the smooth running of the letter of credit process by being unambiguous and brief. Another reason that the banks reject the documents relates to the ambiguity of the term "International Standard Banking Practice" That is to say, UCP500 Art.13 introduced the term "International Standard Banking Practice"(ISBP) without the definition so that one wonder what ISBP is or how ISBP apply in daily work of bankers, examination of documents. From hence, International Chamber of Commerce(ICC) started the work to document ISBP at May 2000, finally approved the result last year and published the publication titled "International Standard Banking Practice for the examination of documents under documentary credits." By applying ISBP in document examination stage, I expect that the freqency of rejecting the documents grow less and bankers' work of examination become easy. On the other hand, ISBP is supplement to UCP500 so that the interpretation of ISBP is made on the basis of understanding of UCP and its underlying principles. So, I reviewed each paragraphs of ISBP on this basis and tried to indicate contradiction between ISBP and UCP500. But because of reading not enough, I failed to search the connotative sense many paragraphs have.

Since the implementation of International Standard Banking Practice(ISBP) in 2003, ICC Publication No. 645 has become an invaluable help to the documentary credit practitioners including banks, companies, transportation and insurance companies etc. However, with the approval of UCP 600 in October 2006, it has become necessary to provide an updated version of the ISBP. It should be emphasized that this ISBP is an updated version as opposed to a revision of ICC Publication No. 645. The new ISBP has been implemented concurrently with UCP 600 since July 1st, 2007. The first necessity was to replace UCP 500 article numbers with those of UCP 600. Second, where it was felt proper, the contents of some paragraphs that appear in ICC Publication No. 645 and that have been covered in UCP 600 have been removed from the updated version of the ISBP. This explains the reduction in the number of paragraphs from 200 to 185. The international standard banking practices documented in the new ISBP are consistent with UCP 600. This ISBP does not amend UCP 600. It explains how the practices articulated in UCP 600 are applied by documentary practitioners. The new ISBP and the UCP 600 should be read in their entirety and not in isolation. It should be kept in mind that any terms in a documentary credit which modifies or excludes the applicability of a provision of UCP 600 may also have an impact on the international standard banking practices. Consequently, when parties concerned must take into account any terms in a documentary credit that expressly modifies or excludes a rule contained in UCP 600.
