Having 1 question.
I want to know in which payment terms, this express BL will help us. We are doing transaction in DA, DP, and LC.
Now one of my customer requested for express BL LC terms, further customer banker is ready to issue LC with express BL, as customer is fearing of demmurages on late clearance, even we also.
Can I go for it? Please let me know.

Hi, upon reading about express b/l, let me clarify, if the B/L is “express”, there’s no need to present an original B/L? Right?
Thanks

Hello,
My name is Htete Ko Zin, and 23 years lod. I am from Myanmar. My dream is to be a professional Trade Forwarder. It is what I have been interested in since I was quite young. Currently I am working for a Project Logistics company. Though it is not a 100% trade forwarding company, it offers the services relating to the forwarding. I have worked for this company over a month and learned a lot about the business. But I am not satisfied with the trade forwarding knowledge I have got. I want to know more and more than I can. I am desperate to be a qualified Trade Forwarder, and could you give me a guidance toward my dream? And please let me know what kind of books I should read.
Thank You

What is Telex Release & Bill of Lading? Your best guide
Great blog!
Can you advise the following situation:
We are exporting to India. Payment terms D/A 60 days from cargo departure date. Cargo goes through railway and transfers to seaway along the way. We will have to wait for original BL for very long, while we have to send documents to the buyer’s bank for collection asap. We are risking storage fees once the cargo reaches the destination port.
Our currier advised to use Telex Release to save time, so there won’t be any Original BL. Question is whether our buyers bank can issue sight draft (guarantee) without original BL if we indicate that we’re using Telex release or Express release.
Thank you,
Eric

- Hi Eric, you will have to follow the requirement of the bank and the documents associated with the shipment.. The type of bill of lading allowed will be mentioned in these documents..
If a customer has requested Originals, can it be changed to Express Release upon customer’s request?

Reply
- Hello Brenda.. It would depend on you term as customer and at what stage and where the bill of lading is.. If you can elaborate the situation behind this question, I can give you a more elaborate answer as there are several possibilities..

Dear Hariesh,
Please, advise.
Should there be any stamp on the Express Bill of Lading? Or is it normal, that Express BL goes without any stamps, signatures, etc?
Are there any links to the international documents, regarding to the explanation of how Express Bill of Lading should be issued and fulfilled?

Reply
- Hi Ruslan, it depends on the shipping line.. Some lines use stamps, some don’t.. But as far as I have seen, all Express Bills are issued without signatures, although there is space for the signature..

Dear Manaadiar,
Thanks for your reply it will be a very useful message for those who deals with the express Bill of lading. In normal trade practise many of them are not following the same, they just release the cargo to someone who comes with the arrival notice. I belive legally also this point is valid.
thanks for your prompt reply.

Can the destination office issue the delivery order without any document for express release, please confirm. Do we need to check the proper identification or company seal while issuing Delivery order. .

Reply
- Hi Munuswamy, as this is an express release, all that the discharge port needs to ensure is that they are delivering the cargo to the right company.. There is no document required for the release.. But even if it is an express release, the shipping line has the responsibility to deliver the cargo to the named consignee after verifying and ensuring that the consignee is who he says he is..
  Proper identification is absolutely necessary..
If one has issued express BL instead of original and Bank is involved in clearance of the consignment then kindly reply of a telex issued by the forwarder can be of any help???
your prompt response wiill be very helpful.

Reply
- Hi Nikki, if a bank is involved, an express bill cannot and should not be issued.. Express bills can be issued only when consigned to direct customers.. Clearance of the consignment has nothing to do with the type of bill of lading issued.. Type of bill of lading issued is for the finalisation of trade payments and has no relation to customs in most countries (exceptions like Brazil are still there where only original bills are accepted)..
- Thanks Manaadiar….
Hi hareish sir,

Thanks in advance

Hi Mannadiar !!!!
Can u explain that what is the difference between Express B/L and Surrender B/L because what i have come to know t that :
EXPRESS B/L
It is a document required for the express delivery of the consignment .The original bill of lading is not required in this case which is surrendered at the load port.
SURRENDER B/L
Whereas the surrender bill of lading is to surrender/submitted with the load port liner at the time of clearance of goods.
Which means both terms means the same thing. So wanted to know that if there is any difference b/w the two or both are same?

Hmmmm…..seems like a good way to ship arms if you ask me.
What do you think?
I need to find a bill of lading for a boat that sank taking aid to Haiti.
Aren’t all cargo ships supposed to have what they are carrying?
I still want to find out what was on a boat to Haiti when it sand.
How can you find out this stuff?
Thanks.
Regards.
I like your blogs, even if I am landbound.

Would this be an easy way for smugglers of illegal goods to operate?

Reply
- Hi Alida, i don’t believe so.. Even though there is no original document, the description and other details of the cargo are recorded in the customs/port systems.. The process of customs/port clearance does not change whether it is an original bill of lading or express..
