The UCP provides no guidance where the words“from”and “after” are used to determine
maturity dates of drafts. Reference to “from” and “after” in the UCP refers solely to dateterminology for periods of shipment. Where the word “from” is used to establish the maturity date，intemational standard banking practice would be exclude the date mentioned， unless the credit specifically provides that“from” is considered to include the date mentioned. Therefore, for the purpose of determining the maturity date of a time draft，the words “from” and “after” have the same effect.Calculation of the maturity commences the day following the date of the document， shipment， or other event， i.e.10 days after or from March 1 to March 11.

UCP没有对使用“从……起”(from)和“在……之后”(after)来确定汇票到期目的做法进行规定。UCP提及的“从……起”和“在……之后”仅用于装运期限。当用“从……起”确定汇票到期日时，国际标准银行实务做法是不包括提及的日期在内，除非信用证特别规定包括该日。因此，“从……起”和“在……之后”在用于确定定期汇票到期日时有相同的含义。到期日的计算从单据日期、装运日期或其他事件的次日起算。也就是说，从3月1日起10日或3月1日后10日均为3月11日。
