There is always a certain amount of uncertainty about this, so either check with the person who set the date, or do whatever is required, BEFORE 6 July.

Most people would mean that July 6 is included. They would say "BEFORE" July 6 if they meant to exclude July 6.

In practice, it usually means by close of business on July 6.
