To change the bill of lading under entrepot trade, first, it is necessary to clarify the needs and purposes of the bill of lading change. Generally speaking, it is required to submit a bill of lading change application to the freight forwarder or shipping company.
The documents to be prepared usually include the original bill of lading (if it is a telex release bill of lading, then a telex release letter of guarantee is needed), commercial invoice, packing list, etc. These documents are used to prove the relevant information of the goods and the authenticity of the trade.
In the operation process, first submit the bill of lading change application and related documents to the freight forwarder or shipping company for review. After the review is passed, pay the corresponding bill of lading change fees, and then the new bill of lading can be obtained.
It should be particularly noted that the information on the bill of lading must be accurate and consistent with the trade contract and other documents to avoid customs clearance problems caused by inconsistent information. Meanwhile, pay attention to the time nodes of the bill of lading change to avoid delaying the delivery of goods.

When changing the bill of lading, keep close communication with the freight forwarder and timely understand the progress of the bill of lading change. Some freight forwarders may also require additional documents such as trade contracts, so it is better to prepare them in advance.

Ask clearly about the bill of lading change fees in advance. The charging standards of different freight forwarders or shipping companies may be different. In addition, pay attention to not filling in the wrong information such as SHIPPER and CONSIGNEE on the bill of lading.
