  Procedures to surrender House Bill of Lading

 

If a shipment is not under the terms of letter of credit or if payment terms are not under DP, some of shippers do not send original bill of lading to buyer but surrender original bill of lading after releasing with carrier.

 

Surrendering procedures of bill of lading simplifies the mechanism of transportation procedures.Once after completion of export customs formalities, the shipper hands over cargo to carrier to move final destination.  Once after receiving cargo by carrier, bill of lading is released after collecting necessary charges from shipper if any.

How to surrender HBL. Procedures to surrender House Bill of Lading

If the shipper wants to surrender original bill of lading, he can submit all originals with a request letter   to the carrier of goods with necessary OBL surrender charges if any.

Once after receiving original Bills of lading from carrier of goods - normally  three originals but in some cases five - the carrier arranges to send a message to his counter part at destination port stating that OBL surrendered at origin port and the consignee may not be insisted to produce original bill of lading  at the time of delivery of cargo.  So the carrier at load port advises his office at destination port to release goods to consignee without original bill of lading.   A copy of such message is sent to the shipper also as a proof of surrendering OBL.  Shipper in turn, sends across the said release message copy to his buyer for smooth delivery of goods without insisting for Original Bill of Lading.   The consignee at destination port takes delivery of goods by obtaining delivery order from carrier.

Roshan: Great Website I Have Ever Seen. Thanks In Advance To Your Lecturers.....

Sunil Duseja: Sir, I want to know the precautions a Shipping Liner has to take before preparing a master Bill of Lading.Are there any guidelines or any notification under Customs act or shipping Act. I have approached a Freight forwarder for sending shipment to Singapore with port of delivery as Jabel Ali.The Freight Forwarder has Issued me a House B/l wherin Iam the Shipper and my Buyer name in Singapore as consignee . I have sent the documents through my bank to the buyers bank in Singapore. My Buyer without clearing my Documents in Singapore has got the goods released in Jabel ali to his corresponding Buyer in Dubai.After investigation we come to know that the Shipping line has issued a Master B/L to the Freight Forwarder mentioning the freight forwarders name as the Shipper but in the consignee name he has mentioned the End Buyer in Dubaiwho is the buyer of my Singapore party. Without switching the B/L he has Cleared. Now my question is the Shipping Liner has got a copy of the Shipping Bill which he acknowledges and based on this only he is supposed to prepare the Master B/L. But he says that the Freight ForwaRDER HAS GIVEN HIM INSTRUCTIONS TO MENTION THE eND bUYER IN dUBAI AS THE consignee and this is the normal trade practice. This is absolutely wrong .He is supposed to write the Singapore Buyers Name in the Master B/L as the consignee. Please give me the necessary notifications / ByeLaws under any customs pr shipping act. Thanks
