3OBL-Original B/L (original form) Note :
1, basic information of OBL (original form):
Original form of bill of lading is generally in triplicate, there are also in two, four and five parts, so that the shipper can pick up the goods with the other bill of lading. After one of them is completed, the rest will automatically expire.
This bill of lading is legally fair and valid document. The word "original" should be indicated on the bill of lading to indicate that it is different from the copy bill of lading. Effect of

To prevent the bank or consignee from receiving bills of lading in a timely manner in order to prevent the bank or consignee from receiving bills of lading in a timely manner, the original bill of lading is usually in triplicate, each of which has the same legal effect. After one of the copies is completed at the port of unloading, the other copies will automatically expire. After the goods are loaded, the receipt can be exchanged for the original bill of lading.
4HBL, MBL, and OBL:
1. The issuance subject is different: MBL is a bill of lading issued by a shipping company, and HBL is a bill of lading issued by the freight forwarder based on MBL, and is issued by the freight forwarder. HBL is not issued if it wants to issue it. The subject of HBL must at least have an agent at the destination port.
2. Heading up is different: MBL is headed by the shipping company, and HBL is headed by the name of the freight forwarder.
3. The delivery method of destination port is different: MBL can pick up goods directly to the shipping company. When HBL, you must first exchange MBL from the freight forwarder's agent at the destination port, and then pick up the goods with MBL, commonly known as changing orders. Or the destination port customer can directly find the freight forwarder's agent to pick up the goods with HBL. Currently, TX·Korea's order exchange fee is refunded USD 20/BILL.
4, the scope of application is different: MBL is suitable for FCL; while LCL, freight forwarding can only sign HBL for customers, or discharge them. Because the shipping company will not help you with LCL, and will not help you with the delivery when you arrive at the destination port. In this case, only HB/L or electric discharge can be produced. Although the shipowner's slip (MB/L) is the most basic property rights certificate, it is rigid and you can't control many of the terms in it. If you are doing L/C, but you cannot produce it at the specified delivery time and cannot board the ship, then you can choose to issue HB/L and ask the freight forwarder to help you sign the bill of lading. If you do L/C, you do not find the special requirements for the ship when reviewing the order (such as age, ship registration, ISM CODE). In addition, when the shipper has not received payment from foreign customers, it may require the issuance of the freight forwarding order to control the goods and avoid the loss of money and goods.
There is another special situation: it involves a third party. If the middleman does not want the final customer to know other information such as the source of the goods, he may require the issuance of a freight forwarding order to achieve the purpose of protecting trade secrets.
issuing the shipowner's order is a relatively safe choice for both the shipper and the freight forwarder. For the shipper, the shipowner's credibility and safety factor must be better than the freight forwarder. Generally speaking, they will trust the shipowner, and they are a little worried about the freight forwarder than the shipowner. It is also relatively safe for freight forwarders and does not need to use an agent. If the agent leaves the goods, the freight forwarder will be in vain and even go bankrupt. Therefore, the whole cabinet must not be exported until the freight forwarding order is not very willing to issue freight forwarding orders.
