Ocean bill of lading is an important evidence to take delivery of goods, if due to their own fault or freight forwarders lost to do?

First, we analyze the possible reasons for loss, and then analyze the solution according to different loss situations:

1. Loss under the control of the exporter;

2. Lost after the negotiation bank delivers to the consignee.

In both cases, the exporter and importer are primarily responsible for their loss.

3. After the exporter delivers the documents to the issuing bank, they are lost at the issuing bank;

4. Lost after the Courier company reaches the negotiating bank;

The issuing bank or negotiating bank is mainly responsible for these two situations

5. Documents presented by the issuing bank to the express company are lost;

The postal service has little responsibility for this loss.

What if there is a loss?

1. The shipper has more rights to claim the cargo right from the carrier before the consignee's redemption note takes delivery of the goods.

Under the premise that the shipper has declared the original bill of lading invalid, only the person who has paid off the payment to the issuing bank is the holder of the bill of lading in good faith and can truly have the right of goods, and the ownership of goods has not been transferred to the holder of the bill of lading when the payment has not been paid off.

So that someone holding a lost bill of lading, it is certainly not from the bank redemption bill, and therefore is not the holder of good faith bill of lading, also have no right to the carrier to claim the right of goods.

2. If the bill of lading is lost before the shipper's exchange settlement, it is usually just a receipt for goods.

If the requirements to the bill of lading issued by the bill of lading lost the shipper, the carrier shall, first of all, require the shipper according to in accordance with local laws in the form of (published in main local newspapers lost invalid statement, and get a written confirmation, etc.) to make the bill of lading invalid, issue a letter of guarantee to assume corresponding responsibility at the same time, it is best to use a different bill of lading bill of lading issued by the carrier to number, but should be at least two sets of bill of lading, a significant difference between before and after in the port of discharge can be easy to identify, and shall notify the port of discharge agent to issue the bill of lading content other relevant documents and other related will change accordingly.

Remember: simply reissuing the same bill of lading as the original bill of lading is not a good way to protect the interests of the carrier.

3, if bill of lading is lost after consignor settlement, the ownership of goods has transferred to the holder of the bill of lading in good faith, so generally do not need to re-issue bill of lading, the carrier's obligation is to hand over the goods to the holder of the bill of lading in good faith.
