Hi Pals,

URC 522 are rules for the parties that recall them in their actions.
A part problems with AML, KYC etc, seller may send directly documents for collection quoting URC 522, problem will arise in identifying the party.
Some US Seller they were used to send "direct collection" on behalf of its bank, asking the collecting bank to consider the collecton as received directly by a bank. To save money or time? I dont know.
Other comments appreciated
