In entrepot trade, different documents have their own key points for display. Regarding invoices, usually the information of the actual buyer and seller needs to be displayed, including names, addresses, etc. If an intermediary is involved, the intermediary's information can be added. The description of the goods should be accurate and detailed, conforming to the actual situation of the goods.
The display of the bill of lading is rather crucial. The shipper is usually the entrepot trader, and the consignee can be the actual buyer or the party designated by the intermediary. The notify party is usually the actual buyer or its agent so that they can be notified in time when the goods arrive at the port. Meanwhile, the port of shipment, the transshipment port and the port of destination on the bill of lading should be accurately marked to avoid confusion.
The packing list should be consistent with the invoice and the bill of lading, showing details of the goods' packaging, quantity, gross weight, net weight and other information. The certificate of origin should be displayed in accordance with the rules of entrepot trade. Generally, it is issued by the transshipment place or processed according to relevant agreements to prove the source of the goods. In short, each document should correspond to each other to ensure the smooth progress of the trade process.
