信用证欺诈是国际贸易中较为常见的不法行为,各国均确立了"信用证欺诈例外原则"。我国《最高人民法院关于审理信用证纠纷案件若干问题的规定》亦对该原则做出了明确的规定。但需注意的是,"信用证欺诈例外"原则在适用时仍存在例外情形。在运用合同法及票据法原理对"信用证欺诈例外"原则做进一步分析的基础上,指出:必须严格把握其适用主体范围,不得以损害善意交易参加人的利益为代价。

All the countries have established ＇Principle of Fraud Exception＇ .Our Judicial Interpretation of L/C Cases has also accepted this important principle.
