Excuse me, how to use the bill of lading?

In business processing, the consignee can exchange the bill of lading for the bill of lading from the shipping company, and after going through the customs clearance formalities, he can pick up the goods on the ship or warehouse with the bill of lading.

When the delivered goods have arrived but the bill of lading has not arrived, if the consignee is the applicant in the letter of credit, he can fill in the letter of guarantee delivery request and ask the issuing bank to sign the letter of guarantee in order to obtain the bill of lading from the shipping company to pick up the goods; When the bill of lading arrives, it will be replaced by a guaranteed bill of lading to relieve the bank of its responsibility. For small bills of lading, refer to the bill of lading of sub-bills of lading.
