There are two or even three companies that need to be filled in in the destination port information section of the ocean bill of lading, usually Consignee and Notify party. Some shipping companies' bills of lading will also list the First Notify Party and the Second Notify Party.

Consignee refers to the consignee, which is usually the customer at the port of destination, that is, the real buyer. If the payment terms are paid by letter of credit, then the consignee is usually the bank.

Notify party refers to the notifying party, which refers to the contact party of the customer at the destination port. If the customer receives the goods and clears customs by himself, then the customer himself can fill in the same as consignee, otherwise it is the customer's agent at the destination port. or traders.

Extended information

Article 79 of my country's Maritime Law stipulates: "Instruction bill of lading: transferred by registered endorsement or blank endorsement..." The former refers to the endorser (instruction) person) write the name of the endorsee on the back of the bill of lading and have it signed by the endorser. The latter means that the endorser only signs on the back of the bill of lading, but does not indicate the name of the endorsee. In the event of a named endorsement, the carrier shall deliver the goods to the endorsee. ?For a blank endorsement?, the carrier only needs to deliver the goods to the holder of the bill of lading?

Since the carrier must deliver the goods to the consignee or holder of the bill of lading stated on the bill of lading, the transfer of the rights to the goods under the bill of lading can be achieved through the transfer of the bill of lading. Therefore, the instruction bill of lading is considered to have the function of "evidence of property rights". ?
