본 연구는 매도인의 서류교부의무에 관하여 규정하고 있는 CISG의 제30조와 34조의 내용을 무역관습인 Incoterms 및 신용장통일규칙(UCP)과 관련하여 해석하고, 서류교부의무의 위반이 매수인에게 어떤 법적 구제권을 부여하는지를 규명한다. CISG는 제 30조와 34조에 매도인의 서류교부의무에 관한 규정을 두고 있으나 서류의 종류, 서류교부 시기, 장소, 형식 등에 대해서는 별도로 규율하지 않고 계약 및 관습(usage)에 의존하고 있다. 이에 따라 계약에 명시적인 규정이 없는 경우 Incoterms와 신용장통일규칙이 협약을 보완하여 적용된다. 매도인이 계약에 적합한 서류를 정해진 시기, 장소, 형식에 따라 교부할 의무를 이행하지 않는 경우 협약의 제45조에 의해 이행청구권, 계약해제권 및 손해배상청구권 등의 구제권이 매수인에게 부여된다. 그러나 계약해제권의 경우 협약이 계약의 유지를 기본 정신으로 하고 있으므로 매우 제한적으로 인정되는 경향이 있다.

ISBP745에서는 기존 ISBP에서는 규정하고 있지 않던 해상운송장 및 도로, 철도, 내수로 운송서류를 규정하여 규정의 폭을 넓혔다. 종래의 ICC Opinion과 다르거나 없었던 ISBP745의 주요 개정사항을 요약하면 다음과 같다. 첫째, 운송루트가 복합운송이면서 선하증권을 요구한 경우 UCP600 제19조 복합운송서류 규정이 적용되는 것으로 종래의 ICC Opinion과는 다르게 개정되었다. 둘째, 신용장에서 착하인도 대리점의 주소와 명칭의 운송서류 기재를 요구할 때 이 주소가 최종목적지 또는 하역항에 위치 할 필요가 없을 뿐만 아니라 동일 국가에 위치할 필요도 없다는 규정이 신설되었다. 셋째, 여러 사람의 송하인과 한 사람의 수하인이 있는 LCL/FCL 운송의 경우에는 복수의 운송서류가 발행되는데 이에 대한 사례를 구체적으로 규정하고 있다. 그러나 운송업계에서 이러한 경우에 흔히 표시하고 있는 "LCL/FCL" 또는 "CFS/CY"의 기재를 복수의 운송서류가 요구되는 사례로 규정하지 않음으로써 실무적으로 혼란을 야기할 수 있다는 문제가 있다. 넷째, 신용장에서 분할선적이 허용되고, 복수의 운송서류가 하나의 표지서류에 따라 제시될 때 서류 제시기간의 기산일을 운송서류 중 최초의 선적일을 기준으로 한다는 규정이 신설되었다.

본 논문은 전자무역거래의 환경하에서 활용될 수 있는 전자결제시스템의 유형과 현재 제공되고 있는 국제전자결제시스템의 활용상의 문제점을 살펴 보고 전자무역을 활성화할 수 있는 전자결제시스템의 발전방안을 모색하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 현재 전자무역거래에서 활용될 수 있는 전자결제시스템은 전자화폐(electronic cash), 전자수표(electronic check), 전자자금이체(electronic fund transfer), 트레이드카드(tradecard) 및 스위프트 시스템에 의한 전자신용장(electronic L/C by SWIFT system) 등이 있다. 하지만 이들에 대한 전자결제시스템의 보안성, 안정성 및 연동성을 포함하는 제도와 인프라가 제대로 구축되고 있지 않아 사용하는데 한계성을 가지고 있다. 따라서 아직 정착되고 있지 못한 국제전자결제시스템의 발전을 위해서는 정보보안기술과 인증시스템의 구축이 필요하고, 걸제서류가 전자문서로 교환될 수 있도록 해야 한다. 또한 스위프트시스템의 네트워크를 스위프트넷에 의하여 모든 당사자간에 연동시켜 안정성 있게 운용되어야 하고 기업간 거래를 위한 전자신용장을 정착시켜야 한다. 이와 더불어 전자결제와 관련된 법적${\cdot}$제도적인 국내외 인프라를 구축하여 국제전자결제시스템의 통합적 지침을 제공할 수 있도록 해야 할 것이다.

Many problems and complaints have been caused by applying the UCP to the standby credit. To solve the problem, International Standby Practices were established. ISP and UCP are similar in that both of them generally regulate the transaction of credit. However, when the ISP is compared with the UCP, the following features are found : 1. In the UCP, when Force Majeure such as acts of God or strikes cause temporary work stoppage, the expiration date cannot be extended. In the ISP, the expiration date can be extended to 30 days afte the place for presentation re-opens for business in the same situation. 2. The UCP does not specify who the issuer of a document must be because there can be many issuers of documents. In the ISP, it is specified that all required documents are to be issued by the beneficiary. 3. In the UCP, compliance between presented documents is required. In the ISP, a discrepancy between presented documents is allowed. 4. In the UCP, if drawings and/or shipments are required by a credit to be made in instalments, and a required drawing/instalment is not made, the credit ceases to be available for any subsequent instalment. In ISP, there is no loss of effect and no influence on the right of beneficiaries, even in the same situation. 5. In the UCP, multiple transfers are not permitted, but partial transfers are. ISP states just the opposite. Multiple transfers are permitted, but partial transfers are not. 6 The UCP obligate each bank (issuer, confirming and nominated bank) to complete their review within a 'reasonable time' but not more than seven banking days. In the ISP, less than three business days is deemed to be not unreasonable and more than seven days is deemed to be unreasonable. 7. ISP, unlike UCP, recognizes that issuers and confirmers may spread their risk through syndication and participation of standby credits. However, the thing to remember is that the ISP should be reviewed carefully before application. If necessary, a partial addition or modifications can be made. Usually, the best advantage of the ISP is given to the issuers. A positive use of the ISP can be made by issuers but, applicants should consider using the UCP to the their rights and duties.

Two kinds of security devices such as independent guarantees and standby letters of credit have been widely used in the international transactions. These devices design to protect one of the parties from a breach by its counter-party. Main uses of these guarantees and standby letters of credit are as follows : bid guarantee, performance guarantee, advance payment guarantee, payment guarantee, retention guarantee, etc. The standby letters of credit were first invented in the U.S.A. and have been widely used in the international and domestic contracts in the U.S.A. But the practical use of these credits is very unsatisfactory in Korea. The purpose of this study is to serve the increase of practical use of the standby letters of credit in Korea through the comparison study on the practical use of the credits between Korea and the U.S.A. Both devices are very similar in function, but they are very different in forms. The one has the form of letter of credits but the other has the form of guarantee. The letter of credit has the stability of governing rule, the legal certainty, and the preference in the field of the trade community comparing to the guarantee. I recommend to use standby letter of credit instead of bank guarantee in international transactions because of the merits of the credit aforesaid.

There were many changes regarding Negotiation of document under UCP 600. First of all, the definition of Negotiation was changed. The UCP 500 stated "Negotiation means the giving of value for drafts and documents by the bank authorized to negotiation", but the UCP 600 defines "negotiation" as following "negotiation means the purchase by the nominated bank of drafts and/or documents under a complying presentation". Under the UCP 600 the meaning of negotiation was more clear than UCP 500. Second UCP 600 permits all deferred payment credits be discountable or negotiable. This amended rule equated the deferred payment credit with banker's acceptance credit which was contrary with the nature and the practice of former deferred payment credit transaction. Third, UCP 600 has also provided for reimbursement rights for nominated banks and a conceptual basis for protecting nominated banks against beneficiary fraud. In this paper, the problems regarding negotiation of document under UCP600 was studied and the solutions for the problems occurring in appling UCP 600 in practical field was provided.

This study is to review "on board notation" on a bill of lading under letter of credit transactions. A bill of lading is a type of document that is used to acknowledge the receipt of a shipment of goods. However, UCP 600Article 20 (a)(ii) requires the bill of lading to indicate that the goods have been shipped on board a named vessel at the port of loading stated in the credit by pre-printed wording, or an on board notation indicating the date on which the goods have been shipped on board. The shipped on board statement should relate to loading on board the named vessel at the port of loading stated in the credit. But it doesn't seem that the on board notation clause in the UCP 600 reflect current shipping practice fully because of the various kinds of on board notation and the confusion surrounding their use. There is a need to understand accurately the meanings and requirements of "on board notation" under UCP 600 and the related regulations. So, This paper will be studied the requirements and indication method of "on board notation" on the bill of lading and presented the practical implications under the bill of lading transactions. This study was based on documentary research including preceding research.

A comprehensive electronic trade portal such as the electronic bills of lading, e-negotiations and so on, is developed by the Korea Ministry of Knowledge Economy and International Trade Association and serviced by KTNET. The portal, so called u-TradeHub, formally started to provide its services on 22nd May, 2009. If the shipper issues electronic bills of lading, the negotiating bank examines it through the established e-Nego system. However, the issuing bank overseas cannot examine the electronic bills of lading, because any interactive system does not exist. So, after the e-Nego, the electronic bills of lading gets automatically transformed into the paper-type electronic bills of lading and issuing bank examine paper B/L. In process of examining documents, the beneficiary using electronic means in letter of credit transactions may face some risks such as the corruption to the electronic bill of lading after its issuance by the carrier, the corruption after e-Nego and the corruption after the presentation to the issuing bank. In this paper, we studied the problems on corruptions to occur in the middle of the examination process of the electronic bills of lading and suggestions how to solve them are discussed.

With the advent of new customs and practice of electronic records, the eUCP provides some useful guidance to accommodate the presentation of the paper documents electronically and also provides necessary rules to allow the UCP and eUCP to work together. There is no denying the fact that many of the UCP articles are not impacted by the presentation of electronic equivalent of paper documents, so the integrated application of the UCP and eUCP will be broad enough to allow for developing practice in this area. This study discusses some theoretical implication for efficient utilization of the global usages of letter of credit through the finding of optimal solution in the state of uncertainty caused by the electronic presentation of documents. This study suggest that the decision rules be developed to show how individuals choose optimal portfolio between the eUCP and the UCP that maximize their expected utility in letter of credit transaction, and also suggest that the optimal portfolio be determined at the point of tangency between the efficient trading line and the highest indifference curve in the mean-variance plane. This study finally recommends three rebuttable doctrines with regard to the relationship between the eUCP and UCP such as linkage characteristics, generation lap propensity, and homothetic application rule, which may be the critical standards for understanding of the integrated usages of the eUCP and UCP.
