Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What should I check on a Bill of Lading (B/L) before approval?
A. Verify that the shipper, consignee, cargo description, quantity, weight, port of loading, port of discharge, and vessel/voyage details are all accurate. Errors discovered after loading can be difficult or costly to correct.
Q. What happens if the EDI filing deadline is missed?
A. Missing the EDI submission deadline may result in loading rejection or the cargo being rolled to the next vessel. Cut-off times vary by carrier and route, so these should always be confirmed at the time of booking.
Q. When should export declaration and shipping documents be completed?
A. Export declaration should typically be completed before the CY Closing (cargo gate-in deadline). Documentation cut-off is often 1–2 days before departure, but exact timings depend on the carrier. Confirm with your forwarder in advance.
