In foreign trade transactions, international logistics is an essential step and very important. If international logistics is well controlled, the goods will be firmly in hand, and you will not be afraid of losing both goods and money.

Then we need to have a clearer understanding of the several delivery methods of international logistics. On the one hand, it can ensure the safety of the goods. On the other hand, the goods can be delivered to customers in a timely manner through different methods, which means that the payment for the goods can be recovered as soon as possible and avoid funds. Difficulty in turnover.

The following focuses on several delivery methods and differences of international shipping:

TELEX RELEASED

definition:It is the abbreviation of telegraph delivery. The bill of lading information is sent to the shipping company at the destination port through an electronic message or electronic message. The consignee can exchange the bill of lading and pick up the goods with the electronic release of the bill of lading and the electronic release letter of guarantee stamped with the electronic release seal. The shipping company notifies the agent at the destination port to release the goods without requiring the original bill of lading. As long as you prove that you are the consignee and the person being released, you can pick up the goods.

advantage: Convenient, fast and safe (avoiding the risk of losing the bill of lading).

shortcoming:The shipper cannot control the rights to the goods.

OCEAN BILL(B/L ocean bill of lading)

definition:Original bill of lading issued by the shipping company. It is a kind of property right certificate, which is used by the consignee to pick up the goods. It can be endorsed and transferred, and it is an important document; SHIPPER will get the original bill of lading from the freight forwarder, scan it to CNEE, arrange payment, and SHIPPER will express the entire set of bills of lading. Mail it to CNEE, and CNEE will exchange the original bill of lading for the bill of lading to pick up the goods; ocean bills of lading are more commonly used.

advantage:It is convenient for the buyer to pick up the goods immediately, simplify the procedures and save costs.

SWB (sea waybill)

definition:The abbreviation of SEA WAYBILL is a form of placing a bill of lading. Once the SWB is shipped, the goods rights are transferred from SHIPPER to CNEE, which means that CNEE can directly pick up the goods. SWB pick-up does not require original copies and does not require electronic release fees. This form of delivery can be used for trusted companies.

Advantage:The reason is that the order is issued quickly and the goods are picked up quickly, conveniently and quickly.

shortcoming: Generally there is no way to control the goods.

Application scenarios:

1. After all payment is received, the sea waybill can be issued.

2. For multinational companies, Chinese subsidiaries are responsible for purchasing for foreign parent companies. In order to facilitate the delivery of goods, sea waybills can be issued as soon as possible.

Order release at destination port

definition:That means releasing goods. This method of releasing bills is rarely used. It will be used in the following special circumstances: the bill of lading is lost, and the shipper writes a letter of guarantee to the shipping company or the agent releases the bill to the consignee; the bill of lading is issued late When the goods arrive, in order to pick up the goods as early as possible, you can also use a letter of guarantee to instruct the release of the goods.

Application scenarios:This method is generally not used unless there are special circumstances.

the difference:

1. SWB is a bill of lading with the ship, which is somewhat similar to a telex release. Once the SEA WAY BILL is confirmed, the agent will release the goods directly to the consignee after the goods arrive at the port.

2. For telex release, even if the goods arrive at the port a long time ago, as long as the shipper does not notify the agent in writing to release the goods, the agent will not release the goods to the consignee.

3. The main difference between SWB and B/L is that SWB does not have the function of a document of property rights. The bill of lading is a document of property rights. The bill of lading can be transferred by endorsement (indicative bill of lading). The sea waybill cannot be transferred. The person who picks up the sea waybill It can only be the consignee specified on the sea waybill.

Summarize:

In the final analysis, all trade transactions are transactions between buyers and sellers, with one hand paying and the other hand delivering the goods; as long as the customer's payment is collected, there is no risk in the above forms of delivery.
