It does not store any personal data. Hi again So basically we have exporter A, importer B 7 palets, kg and importer C 5 palets, kg , all in one container. Now the shipment is under HSS. What are the steps to be taken in this?

Pls suggest your valuable anwser. Krishina, the Freight forwarders handling inbound shipments are usually required to submit electronic house bills of lading prior to the arrival of cargo in the destination country. I am unsure exactly why this is needed as they are an NVO as well.

This is not particular to any shipment they just want it for future use. Can you explain why that would be needed? Hello Nick, if the agent in Bangladesh is also an NVO registered with FMC then there is no need for them to use your bill of lading, they can also use their own bill.. The main reason some agents ask for your HBL maybe if the biz has been generated by you then they feel its better to use your HBL using your insurance and liability covers than their own.. Unless there is a real trust in counterpart agents and there is a lot of regular business dealings with them, one should be careful in sending blank HBLs as they could be mis used..

I have issued HBL to shipper as actual shipper,consignee,notify and in MBL i have updated shipper as us and consignee and notify as our counter part agent. Kindly confirm is this correct procedure for dammam port. Or i have update MBL shipper as us and consignee as actual consignee and notify us our counter part agent.

Hello Raffi, I am not sure specifically on Dammam or Saudi ports.. Best option would be for you to check with Saudi Customs.. While it is not normal in liner business, in tramp business it can happen but as long as it is on different ships..

Fyi, our client does not want our local destination agent to interfere…. Does this vary according to the shipping line and in the event that the MBL must only be consigned to an agent, does this mean that only them could deal with the customs clearance even though this is personal effects? Sorry, I am a beginner and still trying to do my homework before embarking to unchartered territory.

As far as I know you cannot do clearance on your own without a customs clearance agent.. You can make the booking directly with the shipping line and take only MBL if you are confident that you can handle all the activities of shipping yourself.. Even if you use a forwarder you can still insist on an MBL with you and your address in UK as the shipper and you and your address in Brazil as the consignee..

Hi Ryan, you cannot have that situation.. The shipper and consignee must come to terms on the documentation requirements and release the suitable bill of lading.. You cannot have two original bills consigned to the same consignee.. Which is the correct one? Hi Karen, that would be because the shipping line is only contracted upto Bremerhaven which is the gateway port of discharge.. From Bremerhaven to Debrecen will be done by the freight forwarder.. I am very familiar with the import process but not so much on the export process.

I know on the import side it must be filed in the AMS. Is AMS filed on the export side? Also, who must we provide the Bill of Lading to? I trust this would depend upon the shipping terms? Appreciate any guidance. Thank you,. I would really appreciate if someone can give me suggestion about how to track my cargo and get it cleared.

In this context is it permitered as per international trade compliance rules for us to issue MBL under the dircet consignee in order to get the DO release and obtained endorsement and 2nd is it possible to process customs clerance base on 2nd set of shipping documents to avoid delay in getting the shipment cleared avoiding extra cost. Shipment would under duty exemption. How does the BL works? Why are forwarders doing this? Because Carrier charges them only 1 MBL charge. At the same time, this process do not reduce risk but increases the risk of delay due to potential Carrier unloading of containers and customs inspections… and subsequent costs incurred due to these activities… Also, at port of discharge, the EXCHANGE DO charges is also re-charge again..

However, who is the shipper? The one mentioned on the MBL i. Shipper on the bill of lading issued by the Carrier because that is the only info the Carrier has.. The person shown on their bill of lading as the shipper will be responsible for the VGM..

Generally, shipper is the one who needs the cargo to be delivered. Usually, shipper is the owner of the cargo. But can also be an outsourced partner. Under a letter of credit requiring a full set bill of lading …..

What is the actual procedure? Thank you for maintaining an open forum for Logistics related enquiries. My question is , for a start up Freight forwarding company , all the shipments dispatched the actual shipper will be the client of the FF company. I would like to know what Is the actual registration required to make the shipper same as the FF company instead of the our client company on the MBL.

Could you pls advise. Kind run me through the procedure of attaining the delivery order from the shippingline. Can I arrange import shipment by FCL if use forwarder agent in shipper and use my own custom not agent in consignee. Then who would be responsible if the container is lost, freight forwarder or shipping. Hello Arsalan, the responsibility of pre and on-carriage will depend on how the bill of lading has been issued..

FF is asking us for bank guarantee and as this shipment was not LC how we would provide them bank guarantee we are too much confused because FF is mailing us again and again and we want to solve this issue ASAP. Hello Mohsin, the FF is concerned because in this transaction they have been cut off because the shipping line released cargo directly to you based on the MBL which should have actually gone to the FF..

Since cargo has already been released, FF cannot ask for bank guarantee.. Maybe either the shipper or consignee owes the FF freight or other charges and hence they are trying to recover that money.. Hello Josee, that would depend on the company you are dealing with.. Some of the best NVOCCs in the world have their own software which they may allow their customers to use, but otherwise it is all done manually..

Hello Gigi.. There is no bill as Parent Bill.. Can you advise where and in which contact you heard it or saw it so I can advise.. I have a query as to whether we can call for house bills of lading or house airway bills under an LC.

Do they fulfill the same role of a bill of lading or airway bill? Hello Ruth, USD. Usually its much more in the form of a bank guarantee.. Pls read this article which will clarify..

Hi I have questions about Master Bill of Lading. Thank you for your answers! Hi ZMJ, once one of the Original bills of lading is surrendered, all other originals issued become null and void so you cannot do anything with it.. Thanks so much for this, your website has really helped me in my transition into the FF business. Now I have given the instruction for House Bill of Lading with shipper as actual shipper, same with the consignee and notify party is the one who will do the export clearance.
