ICC Banking Commission - Technical Advisory Briefing No. 17
Handling of ‘surrendered’ bills of lading under documentary credits subject to UCP 600

The latest ICC Banking Commission Technical Advisors Briefing No. 17 clarifies that a surrendered bill of lading is not a separate document but a status of the original bill of lading and that neither UCP 600 nor ISBP currently regulate this concept. Where credits use vague wording, the issuing bank bears the risk of ambiguity.

Education is our passion.

That is why we are delighted to see the release of “A Practical Guide to Documentary Collections”, jointly published by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC), BAFT and Trade Treasury Payments (TTP). Educational initiatives like this help strengthen understanding and practical application across the global trade finance community.

The guide provides a clear and highly practical overview of documentary collections, URC 522, eURC, operational workflows, risk considerations, avalisation, sanctions-related challenges, and the evolving role of collections in modern international trade.
