UCP 600 contains important new provisions in the field of transport, insurance and compliance, which forms the basis of letter of credit transactions for years to come. The training is designed to add value to the participants engaged in exports and imports operations through Documentary Credit by developing their knowledge and skill in handling documents in compliance with the terms and conditions of L/C, applicable UCP provisions and International standard Banking Practice and with EPZ Rules.
