Generally, exporters who export FOB clauses in China always involve the issue of designated freight forwarding. Since it involves the issue of designated freight forwarding, it is naturally inevitable that the bill of lading will occur. Foreign traders are aware that if the FOB clause is exported, the sea freight is paid, and the designated freight forwarder will deliver the goods to the destination port in case of confiscation of your sea freight. There will naturally be many articles in the middle. Let me give you an example: A, exporter, Shunde Super Furniture Co., Ltd. B, designated freight forwarding, Shenzhen Liushi International Freight Co., Ltd. C, foreign buyer, Sydney Pacific Ltd., Australia At the beginning, A will start to communicate with C. After the order is issued to C, A will prepare the goods for shipment after completing the product. Since C is the designated B to operate the ticket, A and B are required. It has a direct relationship. It seems that the things that follow are the stories produced by A and B. In fact, A also has to maintain continuous communication with C. After all, C is the customer of A, and B is only a service link in the middle. However, everyone may ignore a problem. There is also a D. D, Sydney Kangaroo International Freight Co., Ltd. In the destination port of Sydney, C and D are always in contact. In fact, the customer's real designated freight forwarding is D, which is Sydney Kangaroo International Freight Co., Ltd.. C will tell D that there are recent shipments in China. Please do this. Arrange to ship to Sydney and give him a quote. Then D will find B, saying that there is a ticket already ready, please quote, B quote to D, then D according to B's offer a little profit to reply to C, C approved D After the quotation, the two parties will have a cooperative relationship. Then D will send the contact information of B to C, and then forward the relevant contact information to A; At the same time, C will also give A's contact information to D, and D will forward the relevant information to B. In this way, at the port of destination C and D, at the same time, at the port of shipment, A and B also pass some kind of connection. A partnership has arisen! Foreign traders may have a question? What is the relationship between B and D? Answer: The relationship between the parent company and the subsidiary, the relationship of the branch, or the relationship of the agent, is plain, is the relationship of mutual cooperation. After the relationship between A and B, the goods are confirmed, the ship is quickly booked, the arrangement is shipped, and the two parties are good at the bill of lading. The story appears again. Because it is FOB goods, the sea freight is paid. That is to say, the sea freight and other goods are paid by C Australia Sydney Pacific Co., Ltd. after arriving in Hong Kong. The shipping company and the B company issue the shipowner bill of lading (MASTERBILL), the consignor on the consignor and the consignee are displayed in this way, all in English! SHIPPER: Shenzhen Liushi International Freight Co., Ltd. CONSIGNEE: Sydney Kangaroo International Freight Co., Ltd. Then, Company B issues a bill of lading (HOUSEBILL) according to the MASTERBILL. The consignor and the consignee on the bill of lading are displayed in this way, all in English! There is a difference! SHIPPER: Shunde Super Furniture Co., Ltd. CONSIGNEE: Australia Sydney Pacific Limited In addition to these two inconsistencies, the contents of the bill of lading are the same in all other respects. Of course, the bill of lading number is definitely not the same. The bill of lading will have its own freight forwarding number. Then, after Company A pays all FOB local fees, Company B will deliver the bill of lading to Company A. Note that it is a bill of lading. And the ship bill of lading?? Company B will bring the shipowner bill of lading to Company D after the settlement of the company's expenses. In this way, the real ship-bill bill of lading is in Company D. Often the foreign trader said that the billless delivery link is now in this respect. If D company and C company collude, and there is strength in the destination port, this problem will appear here. Probably, Company A will blame B for this matter, but the real culprit is D Company. The FOB bad freight forwarding has no such thing as the delivery of goods! However, this phenomenon does not appear much, normal procedures, Company C pays the remaining payment to Company A. Company A will deliver the bill of lading to Company C. Then Company C will use the bill of lading to the company D to change the bill of lading. After the company pays the freight to Company D, D The company will give the shipowner bill of lading to company C. After that, company C will use the shipowner bill of lading to change the bill of lading to the terminal to clear the goods. A complete FOB cargo operation process is generated Many links in the middle are done through this. Company A corresponds to Company B and Company C. Company B corresponds to Company A and Company D Company C corresponds to Company A and Company D Company D corresponds to Company C and Company B. Foreign traders may think that there are only three aspects of communication in the middle, that is, Company B and Company C. In fact, they ignore the existence of Company D. Of course, there is also a pure tripartite relationship. The existence of Company D can also operate this aspect. The process is much the same!
