eUCP
This new electronic supplement came into force on April 1, 2002. With the current evolution from paper to electronic credits, it was determined that the market was looking to the ICC to provide guidance in this transition. In response, the ICC Banking Commission established a Working Group consisting of experts in the UCP, electronic trade, legal issues and related industries, such as transport, to prepare the appropriate rules as a “supplement” to the UCP. The result is the new Supplement to the Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits for Electronic Presentation or “eUCP”.

The eUCP is not a revision of the UCP. The UCP will continue to provide the industry with rules for paper letters of credit for many years. The eUCP is a supplement to the UCP that, when used in conjunction with the UCP, will provide the necessary rules for the presentation of the electronic equivalents of paper documents under letters of credit.
