有关汇票的条款常出现在信用证的开始部分，一般的用语有：
　　⑴We hereby issue our irrevocable letter of credit No。194956 available with any bank in China, at 90 days after Bill of Lading date by draft。
　　该条款要求出具提单后90天的汇票。
　　⑵Draft at 60 days sight from the date of presentation at your counter”.
　　该条款要求出具在议付行起算60天到期的远期汇票。
　　⑶Credit available with any bank in China, by negotiation, against presentation of beneficiary’s drafts at sight ,drawn on applicant in duplicate .
　　该条款要求受益人出具以开证人为付款人的即期汇票。
　　⑷All drafts should be marked “Drawn under the Citibank, New York L/C No.1956717 dated 20040310
　　该条款要求所有汇票须显示，依据花旗银行纽约分行1956717号、日期20040310的信用证出具的。
　　⑸“This credit is available with The Hongkong and Shanghai Banking Corporation, Shanghai by negotiation against beneficiary’s drafts drawn under this L/C at sight basis.”
　　本信用证在上海汇丰银行议付，随附受益人即期汇票。
　　⑹还有一些信用证在汇票上带有一些限制性条款，如：“This letter of credit is to be negotiated against the documents detailed herein a beneficiary’s drafts at 60 days after sight with Standard Chartered bank Shanghai”.
　　这样的条款要求汇票的受款人为“上海标准渣打银行”，实际上是限制了此信用证必须在上海渣打银行议付。在制作汇票时，在汇票的 pay to the order of加上渣打银行上海分行，即这样表示：“Pay to the order of Standard Chartered bank, Shanghai branch “.
　　⑺“The drafts at 90 days sight drawn on Bank of Tokyo Ltd, Tokyo branch. Usance drafts drawn under this L/C are to be negotiated at sight basis. Discount charges and acceptance commission are for account of accountee.”
　　此信用证规定受益人须开立90天的“远期汇票”，但是出口商却“即期”可以议付该信用证。因条款中规定承兑费和贴现费由开证人负担，因此对于出口商来说，就是“即期信用证”，这就是通常所说的“假远期”。
　　还有一些信用证不需要“汇票”，其信用证的条款有时是这样表示的：
　　（1）、This credit is available with/by Nordea Bank Norge Asa Oslo” for currency USD amount5,000.-.
　　（2）、“Documentary Credit available with yourselves by payment against presentation of the documents detailed herein”.
　　（3）、This credit is available by negotiation with any bank at sight against presentation of documents detailed herein.
　　这样的信用证，条款中没有提到汇票要求，也就不需要提供汇票了。
