Use of a reimbursing bank and the URR 725

Article 13 UCP 600 was drafted in order to conform with the URR Uniform Rules for Bank-to-Bank Reimbursement (URR 525). The URR 525 were in need of reform and  have been replaced by the URR 725 which entered into effect as of October 1, 2008. 

This means, that the URR are still separate from the UCP and have to be specficially referenced in order to make them part of the agreement. Unless such a reference exists Article 13 UCP 600 governs the obligations of the banks regarding reimbursement. 

The ICC stresses that the URR 725 should not be seen as a revision of URR 525, but rather as an update, to change the style to match that of UCP 600. For example changes include the removal of capitalization of terms and the removal of (s)?s because under UCP 600 ''words in the singular include the plural and in the plural include the singular.''

Article 13 b (ii) UCP 600 is identical in substance to Article 19 b UCP 500 according to which a claiming bank is not required to supply the reimbursing bank with a certificate of compliance. This results from the reimbursing bank not examining the documents, but only facilitating the reimbursement between issuing/confirming bank and nominated bank. 

The UCP 600 introduced for the first time that the reimbursement authorization should not be subject to an expiry date.

Nice work

The ICC stresses that the URR 725 should not be seen as a revision of
URR 525, but rather as an update, to change the style to match that of
UCP 600.I was looking about

I think if these two

I think if these two companies are working together , they should basically make and contain mutual understanding between each other and help out each other . I think that in this case basically they should elect a single Tax Attorney or a management team for both the party in order to clear all the compensation problems and solve together as a unit .

1. Yes, both are separate rules, but Art 13 is only invoked as a fall back in the absence of the LC indicating that the reimbursement is subject to URR725.2. If the issuing bank has provided a reimbursement authorisation to the reimbursing bank by MT740, it is true that the authorisation is subject to URR725. However, this does not imply that the nominated bank is also bound by URR725 in respect of claims made to the reimbursing bank. For the latter to take effect, field 40E of the MT700 is required to state "UCPURR LATEST VERSION", instead of "UCP LATEST VERSION". Otherwise Art 13 of UCP600 will take precedence.  regards,phe9oxis,http://www.guidebuddha.com

URR 725

Admin,

1) you wrote "Unless such a reference exists Article 13 UCP 600 governs the
obligations of the banks regarding reimbursement"... which to my understanding means that rules of article 13 of UCP are parallel rules (parallel but separate set of rules) to URR725? please confirm

 

2)and even if the issuing bank did not expressly confirm that credit is subject to rules of URR725 it already and Automatically becomes subject to URR725 as long as there are some (part / full ) reimbursing instructions given under article 13 of UCP 600? (this according to my colleague, saying as long as a reimbursing bank is stated in a credit, it becomes subject to URR725, without having to expressely mention "subject to URR725")

Kindly correct me on this as I don't believe my colleague and I are correct on this...

moh. 

p.s. just editing here, to see if it will get bumbed up again so to get a reply.. thankx.  

URR725

Admittedly a very late post , but for what it's worth, and if still of interest :

1. Yes, both are separate rules, but Art 13 is only invoked as a fall back in the absence of the LC indicating that the reimbursement is subject to URR725.

2. If the issuing bank has provided a reimbursement authorisation to the reimbursing bank by MT740, it is true that the authorisation is subject to URR725. However, this does not imply that the nominated bank is also bound by URR725 in respect of claims made to the reimbursing bank. For the latter to take effect, field 40E of the MT700 is required to state "UCPURR LATEST VERSION", instead of "UCP LATEST VERSION". Otherwise Art 13 of UCP600 will take precedence.
