According to UCP600, unless otherwise specified in the letter of credit, the issuer of a commercial invoice is the beneficiary. The top of the invoice often has a striking name and detailed address of the issuer. The font size of the issuer’s name should be larger than the text size, and the address is often slightly smaller than the font size of the text.
