提单的页码问题
一、背景与问题
信用证47A的附加条件规定：
+ B/L presented in incomplete number of page is not acceptable.
受益人提交全套租船提单，提单背面显示“Page 01”，正面未显示页码。
开证行拒付，不符点为：
Bill of lading presented in incomplete number of page.
开证行认为，既然提单背面显示了“Page 01”，那么提单正面就应该注明“Page 02”。
二、问题
开证行的拒付理由是否成立？
三、分析与结论
UCP600第14条a款规定：按指定行事的指定银行、保兑行（如果有的话）及开证行须审核交单，并仅基于单据本身确定其是否在表面上构成相符交单。
信用证中“不接受页数不完整的提单”条款的意图并不明确。所提交的租船提单表面并未暗示其还有额外页数，且不管提单的页码显示在提单的哪一面、两面都有或者都没有显示，提单的正面和背面都被认为是同一份单据。在实务中，很多提单也只在其中一面显示页码。
该提单可接受。
四、涉及的惯例
NOTE:
ANALYSIS
UCP 600 sub-article 14 (a) states that a nominated bank acting on its
nomination, a confirming bank, if any, and the issuing bank must examine a
presentation to determine, on the basis of the documents alone, whether or not the
documents appear on their face to constitute a complying presentation.
The requirement in the credit for ‘B/L presented in incomplete number of page
is not acceptable’ is unclear as to the exact intention. There is no indication in the
bill of lading that there are additional pages.
The front and reverse of a bill of lading are considered as the same document,
regardless of whether or not a page number is displayed on one side, both sides, or
neither side. In practice, many bills of lading are issued with only one side
numbered.
