Bank-to-Bank Reimbursement Arrangements

　　銀行間償付約定

　　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. 如果信用證規定被指定銀行（“索償行”）須通過向另一方銀行（“償付行”）索償獲得償付，則信用證中必須聲明是否按照信用證開立日正在生效的國際商會《銀行間償付規則》辦理。

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

　　b. 如果信用證中未聲明是否按照國際商會《銀行間償付規則》辦理，則適用于下列條款：

　　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. 開證行必須向償付行提供償付授權書，該授權書須與信用證中聲明的有效性一致。償付授權書不應規定有效日期。

　　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. 不應要求索償行向償付行提供證實單據與信用證條款及條件相符的證明。

　　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. 如果償付行未能按照信用證的條款及條件在首次索償時即行償付，則開證行應對索償行的利息損失以及產生的費用負責。

　　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. 償付行的費用應由開證行承擔。然而，如果費用系由受益人承擔，則開證行有責任在信用證和償付授權書中予以注明。如償付行的費用系由受益人承擔，則該費用應在償付時從支付索償行的金額中扣除。如果未發生償付，開證行仍有義務承擔償付行的費用。

　　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. 如果償付行未能于首次索償時即行償付，則開證行不能解除其自身的償付責任。
