注釋：expirationdate:有效期有時(shí)，信用證只規(guī)定一個(gè)有效期，而沒有裝運(yùn)時(shí)間的規(guī)定，這意味著裝運(yùn)期和有效期為同一天。

TheL/CstipulatesthattheexpirydateisJuly31stwithoutashipmentdate,thenthelatestshipmentdateisalsoJuly31st.

如信用證規(guī)定有效期為7月31日，而沒有規(guī)定裝運(yùn)時(shí)間，那么，最遲的裝運(yùn)期也是7月31日。歷年考題：IftheL/Csimplystipulatesanexpirydatewithoutashipmentdate,itmeansthat.(2009年單選題)A.twodatesarenotthesameB.twodatesarethesameC.shipmentdateisearlierthanexpirydate.D.expirydateisearlierthanshipmentdate.
