Surrender b/l意思

"Surrender B/L" is an acronym often used in the context of international trade and shipping. It stands for "Surrender Bill of Lading." A bill of lading (B/L) is a document that serves as a receipt for goods being shipped, evidence of the contract of carriage between a shipper and a carrier, and a document of title, allowing the holder to claim the goods at the destination.

A Surrender Bill of Lading is a type of bill of lading that is used when the original bill of lading is surrendered, or returned, to the party that issued it. This typically happens when the goods have been delivered to the consignee (the person or company named as the recipient of the goods) and the original bill of lading is no longer needed as a document of title.

The surrender of the original bill of lading is usually done in exchange for the release of the goods. Once the original bill of lading is surrendered, it is voided, and the carrier or the issuing party will issue a Surrender Bill of Lading to acknowledge that the original B/L has been returned and that the goods have been delivered.

Surrender Bills of Lading are important for record-keeping and to prevent fraud, as they provide proof that the original bill of lading has been properly accounted for and that the transaction involving the goods has been completed.
