The order bill of lading can be used in entrepot trade. The order bill of lading has a certain degree of flexibility. In entrepot trade, the transportation of goods may involve multiple links and different trading entities. The order bill of lading can be transferred by endorsement, which meets the need for the transfer of the ownership of the goods among different trading parties in entrepot trade.
However, during the operation, attention should be paid to the standardization of the bill of lading endorsement. The endorsement must comply with relevant laws, regulations and shipping practices. For example, in the case of special endorsement, the name of the endorsee should be accurately filled in, and in the case of blank endorsement, only the signature of the endorser is required. At the same time, attention should be paid to the transfer time of the bill of lading to ensure that all relevant procedures are completed before the goods arrive at the destination port to avoid problems such as delays in taking delivery of the goods. Also, close attention should be paid to the control of the goods to prevent unexpected risks during the entrepot process.
