What should I do if the bill of lading is lost?

1. The first reaction after the bill of lading is lost is to contact the freight forwarder or shipping company. In fact, the consignee should also be notified.

2. In newspapers above the municipal level for three consecutive days, declare that the bill of lading has been lost.

3. The shipping company will issue a guarantee for the loss of the bill of lading, fill in the bill of lading number, box seal number and other information as required, and send it back to the shipping company with the original stamp.

4. The most important link is the deposit. Lost the bill of lading, the shipping company generally requires a deposit of 2-3 times the value of the cargo, and the seizure time is one to two years. This number and time are not fixed, and can be negotiated, at this time the freight forwarding is very tested.

5. The newspaper statement plus the loss guarantee, together with the agreed deposit, in the witness of the freight forwarder, signed a deposit agreement with the shipping company in triplicate.

6. If the goods still have to arrive at the port at this time, the shipping company will re-sign the original bill of lading. If you have already arrived at the port, even beyond the free container period and free stack period, in order to avoid high port miscellaneous charges, you can ask the freight forwarder to apply for it, and it is also good to be free for an extra day. In addition, do not send the original bill of lading to foreign countries, choose the electric bill of lading to save time.
