做外贸、做货代的朋友,可能都听过“船证”这个词。:“船证到底是什么?“船证怎么出?” “船证由谁签发?今天我们就来聊聊这份贸易出口文件
在实际操作中需要出具船证的货物不多,船证文件主要用途是匹配信用证L/C要求,T/T不涉及船证。出口阿联酋、阿富汗、巴基斯坦等阿拉伯国家,以色列等犹太人居住的国家,还有孟加拉、印度等国家开立的信用证有些包含船证条款。
信用证条款原文1:
Shipment to be effected on vessel classified 100AL IN THE LLOYDS REGISTER or its equivalent and certificate stating that the carrying steamer is seaworthy and not more than 15 years old issued by shipping company or its agent to that effect should accompany the document"。
信用证条款原文2:
shipment should be effected by companies honoring bangladesh laws and regulations regarding vessels/carrier,flags,ports,shipment and transshipment. a certificate in this regard issued by the carrier/agent of the carrier must accompany the documents.
船证文件能否顺利按L/C要求出具,最重要是订舱前提前确认好。并不是所有船公司都能按要求出具船证。比如船龄、非直航、船籍等,应避免订舱后发现船公司不匹配船证要求,导致换船延误出运。出证人应与提单签发人一致,货代单HBL对应船证签发人为货代,船东单MBL对应则为船公司。
多数情况下,目的港清关只需 “船证副本”,但信用证结算可能要求 “正本船证”,需提前与银行 / 货主确认。船证费用一般RMB350-450元。船证是国际货运中的 “合规通行证”,做到 “提前确认、仔细核对”就能轻松应对。
