The bill of lading is the proof of lading for international shipping, so it is a very important document. If the original bill of lading is lost, how to do?
If only HBL lost, then just need to let the freight forwarder to reprint, but if the MBL is lost, to re-issue a is very troublesome and complex.
The following I will introduce the bill of lading lost information required to submit:
Application for re-issue of BL
Shipper’s bill of lading lost statement.
Proof of the loss of the bill of lading, such as the police certificate or the official certificate issued by the courier company.
Advertisement of lost B/L on local newspaper by rightful cargo owner (depending on each country’s requirements)
Commercial invoices and customs declarations
One of the most important aspects is the deposit. Bill of lading is lost, the shipping company will generally require a deposit of 2-3 times the value of the goods, seizure time is one to three years. This number and time is not certain, depending on the shipping company.
The above is all the information required to be submitted, so if you issue the original bill of lading in the case, really need to take good care of this.
In fact, if you want to avoid losing the bill of lading, you can choose the telex release bill of lading or release in destination, so that you do not have to spend money to send the bill of lading from china, but also do not have to worry about the bill of lading will be lost.
