【正文】 ean B/L” which means a B/L without any notes of damages or shortings at the time of loading. This sometimes creates problems between the carrier and the shipper, who in spite of damage or other discrepancy to the cargo wants the shipping line to incorrectly issue a “Clean B/L” against a letter of indemnity from the shipper or a bank guarantee. Such indemnities are not allowed under the international conventions that governs Bs/L and if brought to court will not be upheld. Therefore the carrier should not issue “Clean” Bs/L if this is not the correct cargo description.24hour manifest rule (. customs)You may have heard about the 24hour manifest rule established by . Customs and its requirements regarding description of goods for example that “.” is not allowed and that the cargo description must be very specific (. “general merchandise” and other general cargo descriptions are not allowed). For the purpose of transport documentation, you should be aware that the . Customs rules relate to the vessel manifest, not the printed Bill of Lading or Waybill document. The vessel manifest is used for customs purposes. The printed Bill or Waybill is used for legal and mercial purposes.Bill of Lading Document DateThe date of the B/L must be the date on which it is actually issued, irrespective of the date the cargo was received or loaded, however not earlier than the date the cargo was received or loaded respectively.For a “Shipped on Board” B/L, the date cannot be earlier than the date the cargo was actually loaded on board the first vessel or conveyance mentioned in the document.For a “Received for Shipment” B/L, the date cannot be earlier than the date the cargo was actually received at the place of receipt or load port mentioned in the document.Sometimes, a shipper will request a carrier to issue the B/L with earlier or later dates in order to ply with time restrictions in the shipper’s Letter of Credit. The carrier is not obliged to do so and should not do so. It would be considered an attempt to defraud the buyer.Bill of Lading Freight paymentThe charges payable at origin (usually by the shipper) are called “prepaid”. The charges payable at destination (usually by the consignee) are called “collect”.In order to secure payment, the carrier will usually not release the original B/L document to the shipper before he has paid all prepaid charges. At destination, the carrier will usually not release the goods until all freight charges are paid (even when a duly endorsed B/L is presented). It is a mercial decision by the carrier whether they wish to grant the shipper and/or consignee credit. If credit has been granted, the carrier will release the goods and expect the freight and other costs to be paid within the agreed time.The shipper is responsible for advising the carrier which charges are prepaid and collect. If the carrier is in doubt whether the consignee will pay for the collect charges, he may check with the consignee before accepting the shipment.In some areas of the world, from where there is a great risk and/or cost for the carrier to ship cargo, the carrier may require that all charges are prepaid. 二者在貨物提取之前有且只有一個留在貨主手里，只不過D/O不再是物權(quán)憑證，貨主領(lǐng)取D/O之后，說明船公司已經(jīng)把貨物放給貨主了。 Charges、Prepaid at、Payable at、Prepaid、Collect） 　　16．提單號和正本提單份數(shù)（B/L No.、 Original B(s)/L） 　　17．簽單地點和日期（Place and Date of Issue） 　　18．代表承運人簽字（Signed for the Carrier） 區(qū)別　　四、B/L與D/O的區(qū)別 　　B/L： 　　BILL OF LADING提單，是貨物的物權(quán)憑證。 　　三、提單的繕制與簽發(fā) 　　1． 托運人（Shipper） 　　2． 收貨人（Consignee） 　　3．通知人（Notify Party） 　　4． 前段運輸（PreCarriage by） 　　5．收貨地點(Place of Receipt) 　　6． 海運船舶及航次（Ocean Vesse） 7． 裝貨港（Port of Loading） 　　8． 卸貨港（Port of Discharge） 9．交貨地點（Place of Delivery） 　　10. 嘜頭和號碼、集裝箱箱號和鉛封號（Marks amp。 　　 　　1 班輪提單(Liner B/L)。 　　 　　1 運費預(yù)付提單(Freight Prepaid B/L)。 　　 　　1 清潔提單（Clean B/L）。2 指示提單（Order B/L）。 2 收貨待運提單（Received for Shipment B/L）。提單（bill of lading）中英文簡介簡介　　提單（Bill of Lading,B/L）是由船長或承運人或承運人的代理人簽發(fā)，證明收到特定貨物，允許將貨物運至特定目的地并交付于收貨人的憑證。 　　一、提單的作用 　　1. 提單是運輸合同的證明 2. 提單是貨物收據(jù) 分類　　二、提單的分類 　　1. 按貨物是否已裝船區(qū)分 　　1 已裝船提單（Shipped B/L or on Board B/L）。 　　2．按提單抬頭區(qū)分 　　1 記名提單（Straight B/L），又稱收貨人抬頭提單。 　　3 不記名提單（Blank B/L or Open B/L）。2 不清潔提單（Foul B/L）。 2 運費到付提單（Freight Collect B/L）。2 租船提單（Charter Parth B/L）。 Nos.、 No.） 　　11．集裝箱數(shù)或件數(shù)（No of Container or P kgs） 　　12．包裝種類、貨物名稱（Kind of Packages、Description of Goods） 　　13．毛重（Gross Weight kgs） 　　14．體積（Measurement） 　　15．運費和費用、付款地點及付款方式（Freight amp。 　　D/O： 　　DELIVERY ORDER提貨單，是目的港口提取貨物時需要的憑證，不可以轉(zhuǎn)讓. 　　貨物上船之后，由船公司簽發(fā)B/L給SHIPPER，SHIPPER將B/L轉(zhuǎn)給CONSIGNEE，貨物到達港口，CONSIGNEE憑B/L去船公司換取D/O，憑D/O去港口提貨。Bill of Lading Introduction When discussing Bills of Lading, we must distinguish between a carrier B/L (B/L) and a House B/L (HBL).
