Users’ Handbook for Documentary Credits under UCP 600 is designed
to serve as an introduction to users of documentary credits, that is, to
sellers and buyers who seek to increase their access to cross-border markets.
It strives to demonstrate the way commercial parties and bankers have used
this remarkable commercial device, the documentary credit, to achieve their
objectives.

Users’ Handbook is divided into five parts:

;

Part One is a brief discussion of international sales and transport.

Part Two explains the banking industry’s crucial role in documentary credit
transactions and illustrates many of the transactions in which commercial
parties utilize the documentary credit.

Part Three explains the way documents control the payment function of the
documentary credit.

Part Four introduces the all-important feature of the documentary credit – the
ways it opens financing options to sellers, which can then extend credit to
buyers.

Part Five introduces the standby credit and illustrates its role in
cross-border transactions.

Users' Handbook also contains a handy glossary of international trade
terms for easy reference.
