Reviewing bills of lading for entrepot trade requires attention in many aspects. First, the basic information of the bill of lading must be accurate, including the names and addresses of the shipper, consignee, and notify party, etc., to ensure consistency with the trade contract. Second, the description of the goods should be clear and consistent with the actual goods. Details such as the name, quantity, weight, and packaging of the goods should not be wrong. Third, the header of the bill of lading is crucial. Whether it is a straight bill of lading, an open bill of lading, or an order bill of lading should be in accordance with the contract requirements. Then, pay attention to the date of issue of the bill of lading. It should conform to the time logic of the trade to avoid the situation of anti-dated or advanced bills of lading. In addition, the endorsement of the bill of lading cannot be ignored. Blank endorsement or special endorsement should meet the needs of property right transfer in the entrepot trade process. Finally, check the freight terms on the bill of lading. Whether the freight is prepaid or collect must be consistent with the agreement in the trade contract.
