受益人证明

受益人证明（BENEFICIARY'S CERTIFCATE）是一种由受益人自己出具的证明，以便证明自己履行了信用证规定的任务或证明自己按信用证的要求办事，如证明所交货物的品质、证明运输包装的处理、证明按要求寄单等。一般无固定格式，内容多种多样，以英文制作，通常签发一份。

2.证明上通常会显示发票号、合同号或信用证号以表明与其它单据的关系。n

3.证明的内容应严格与合同或信用证规定相符。n

4.因属于证明性质，按有关规定证明人（受益人）必须签字。n

5.单据一般都应在规定的时间内做出。

常见证明的内容和要求

寄单证明

是最常见的一种，通常是受益人根据规定，在货物装运前后一定时期内，邮寄/传真/快递给规定的收受人全套或部分副本单据，并将证明随其它单据交银行议付。

如CERTIFICATE FROM THE BENEFICIARY STATING THAT ONE COPY OF THE DOCUMENTS CALLED FOR UNDER THE LC HAS BEEN DISPATCHED BY COURIER SERVICE DIRECT TO THE APPLICANT WITHIN 3 DAYS AFTER SHIPMENT.

寄样证明

例如：CERTIFICATE TO SHOW THAT THE REQUIRED SHIPMENT SAMPLES HAVE BEEN SENT BY DHL TO THE APPLICANT ON JULY 10，2005（受益人只要按规定出单即可）。

包装和标签证明

例1：某信用证要求：A CERTIFICATE FROM THE BENEFICIARY TO THE EFFECT THAT ONE SET OF INVOICE AND PACKING LIST HAS BEEN PLACED ON THE INNER SIDE OF THE DOOR OF EACH CONTAINER IN CASE OF FCL CARGO OR ATTACHED TO THE GOODS OR PACKAGES AT AN OBVIOUS PLACE IN CASE OF LCL CARGO，其意思是受益人应证明已把一套发票和箱单贴在集装箱箱门内侧（整箱货）或拼箱货的显眼的地方。

例2：BENEFICIARY CERTIFICATE IN TRIPLICATE STATING THE SHIPMENT DOES NOT INCLUDE NON-MANUFACTURED WOOD DUNNAGE，PALLETS，CRATING OR OTHER PACKAGING MATERIALS；THE SHIPMENT IS COMPLETELY FREE OF WOOD BARK，VISIBLE PESTS AND SIGNS OF LIVING PESTS（要求三份单据，证明货物未再加工、非木制包装、无树皮、无肉眼可见虫害、无活虫）。

4.其它规定

如CERTIFICATE CONFIRMING THAT ALL GOODS ARE LABELLED IN ENGLISH（货物加贴英文标签）；BENEFICIARY’S CERTIFICATE STATING ORIGINAL B/L OF 1 SET CARRIED BY THE CAPTAIN OF THE VESSEL（一套正本提单已交由船长携带）；A STATEMENT FROM THE BENEFICARY EVIDENCING THAT PACKING EFFECTED IN 25KGS CTN（货物25公斤箱装）；

BENEFICIARY’S CERTIFICATE CONFIRMING THEIR ACCEPTANCE OF THE AMENDMENT DATED 10/09/2005 MADE UNDER THIS CREDIT Q QUOTING THE RELEVANT AMENDMENT NUMBER（确认改证内容）；CERTIFICATE TO SHOW GOODS ARE NOT OF ISRAELI ORIGIN AND DO NOT CONTAIN ANY ISRAELI MATERIAL（货物须保证非以色列产并且不含以色列的材料）。

注意事项

1.单据名称应合适恰当。

2.一般的行文规则是以所提要求为准直接照搬照抄，但有时也应做必要的修改。如

信用证规定“BENEFICIARY’S CERTIFICATE EVIDENCING THAT TWO COPIES OF NON-NEGOTIABLE B/L WILL BE DESPATCHED TO APPLICANT WITHIN TWO DAYS AFTER SHIPMENT”，在具体制作单据时应将要求里的“WILL BE DESPATCHED”改为“HAVE BEEN DESPATCHED”；再比如对“BENEFICIARY’S CERTIFICATE STATING THAT CERTIFICATE OF MANUFACTURING PROCESS AND OF INGREDIENTS ISSUED BY ABC CO SHOULD BE SENT TO SUMITOMO CORP”的要求，“SHOULD BE SENT”最好改为“HAD/HAS BEEN SENT”

3.证明文件通常以“THIS IS TO CERTIFY”（或DECLARE，STATE，EVIDENCE等）或“WE HEREBY CERTIFY”等开始。
