Article 9 Advising of Credits and Amendments
第九條 信用證及修改的通知

a. A credit and any amendment may be advised to a beneficiary through an advising bank. An advising bank that is not a confirming bank advises the credit and any amendment without any undertaking to honour or negotiate.

a. 信用證及其修改可以通過通知行通知受益人。除非已對信用證加具保兌，通知行通知信用證不構成兌付或議付的承諾。

b. By advising the credit or amendment, the advising bank signifies that it has satisfied itself as to the apparent authenticity of the credit or amendment and that the advice accurately reflects the terms and conditions of the credit or amendment received.

b. 通過通知信用證或修改，通知行即表明其認為信用證或修改的表面真實性得到滿足，且通知準確地反映了所收到的信用證或修改的條款及條件。

c. An advising bank may utilize the services of another bank（“second advising bank”）to advise the credit and any amendment to the beneficiary. By advising the credit or amendment, the second advising bank signifies that it has satisfied itself as to the apparent authenticity of the advice it has received and that the advice accurately reflects the terms and conditions of the credit or amendment received.

c. 通知行可以利用另一家銀行的服務（“第二通知行”）向受益人通知信用證及其修改。通過通知信用證或修改，第二通知行即表明其認為所收到的通知的表面真實性得到滿足，且通知準確地反映了所收到的信用證或修改的條款及條件。

d. A bank utilizing the services of an advising bank or second advising bank to advise a credit must use the same bank to advise any amendment thereto.

d. 如一家銀行利用另一家通知行或第二通知行的服務將信用證通知給受益人，它也必須利用同一家銀行的服務通知修改書。

e. If a bank is requested to advise a credit or amendment but elects not to do so, it must so inform, without delay, the bank from which the credit, amendment or advice has been received.

e. 如果一家銀行被要求通知信用證或修改但決定不予通知，它必須不延誤通知向其發送信用證、修改或通知的銀行。

f. If a bank is requested to advise a credit or amendment but cannot satisfy itself as to the apparent authenticity of the credit, the amendment or the advice, it must so inform, without delay, the bank from which the instructions appear to have been received. If the advising bank or second advising bank elects nonetheless to advise the credit or amendment, it must inform the beneficiary or second advising bank that it has not been able to satisfy itself as to the apparent authenticity of the credit, the amendment or the advice.

f. 如果一家被要求通知信用證或修改，但不能確定信用證、修改或通知的表面真實性，就必須不延誤地告知向其發出該指示的銀行。如果通知行或第二通知行仍決定通知信用證或修改，則必須告知受益人或第二通知行其未能核實信用證、修改或通知的表面真實性。
