According to Article 10A of URC522, the loan shall not be delivered directly to the bank, nor shall the bank or the bank's offer be the consignee unless the bank has first approved it. If, without the prior consent of the bank, the loan is delivered directly to the bank or to the consignee designated by the Bank and the goods are then delivered to the payer after payment or acceptance by the bank, the bank shall not be obliged to take delivery of the goods and the risk and liability of the goods shall be borne by the consignor.

Therefore, the notified person of the bill of lading must have a detailed name and address for the carrier or the port of destination to inform them to take delivery of the goods in time. If the L/C does not specify an address, it may be omitted from the original bill of Lading in order to keep the documents consistent, but the full address of the notified person shall be indicated on the duplicate bill of Lading.

6、卸货港(Port of Discharge)：
In principle, the discharging port of L/C bill of lading must be handled in accordance with L/C. However, if L/C specifies more than two ports, or simply write "×× main ports" such as "European MainPorts", you can only select one of them or fill in the name of the specific unloading port.
If L/C stipulates "In Tiansit to ××" after the name of the discharge port, it can only be listed in the shipper's declaration column on the bill of lading or in the blank below the shipping mark. Especially, our country only covers the port of unloading but not the transporter, which cannot be filled out after the port of unloading, to show that the seller only covers the port of unloading, and then where to the buyer.
In addition, when exporting to U.S. and Canada O.C.P(Over1and CommonPoints), "O.C.P ××" is usually added after the name of the unloading port. For example, L/C stipulates that "Los Angeles O. C. PChicago" can be filled out at the port of destination of the bill of lading: Los AngeIes O. C. P; If the name of the last city of shipment is required, "O. C. P. Chicago" may be inserted in the margin and mark of the bill of lading to facilitate transshipment to "Chicago" by the forwarding company.

The freight payment of the bill of lading under the letter of credit shall be filled in accordance with the provisions thereof. Prepaid Prepaid generally refers to two prepaid terms: in CIF and CFR terms, "FreightPrepaid" or "Freight Paid" shall be marked; Under FOB condition, fill in "Freight Collect" or "Freight Payable atDestination". If charter Party Bill of Lading sometimes requires: "Freight Payable as PerCharter Party". Sometimes the letter of credit also requires the amount of freight, which can be filled in according to the actual amount of freight paid.
The place of issue of the bill of lading is usually at the port of shipment and the date of shipment as required by the L/C is usually earlier than or on the same day as the shipment date. In some cases, the actual shipment date is later than the stipulated shipment date due to the delay of the shipment date or the delay caused by the consignor. In order to adapt to the provisions of the L/C and ensure the conformity of the documents, the consignor requires the ship to agree to exchange the letter of guarantee for the bill of lading which is earlier or conforms to the shipment date, which is Ante I Dated B/L. In addition, an on board bill of lading, also known as an Advanccd B/L, is requested by the shipper in order to obtain a full set of documents for negotiation as early as possible before the goods have been shipped or sailed. These two situations should be avoided, if problems occur, or are perceived by the buyer, enough to cause huge economic losses and adverse effects.
A bill of lading must be signed by the carrier or its agent. If the credit requires a hand signature, so be it. As for the question of who signs the ocean bill of lading to be valid, a new supplementary provision has been made in UCP500, that is, Article 23A (1) stipulates that the signatory may be the carrier or a named agent or representative of the carrier, or the Master or a named agent or representative of the Master.
The number of original bill of lading issued under the L/C payment method is generally specified, therefore, the required number of copies must be issued according to the L/C. For example the letter of credit states: "Full set 3/3 Origina1 c1ean on board ocean Bil1 of Lading... ." This means that the bill of lading issued in three originals must be in three originals when presented to the bank for negotiation. If the terms of the bill of lading do not specify the number of copies but indicate elsewhere: "... available by beneficiary 's draft at sightdrawn on us and accompanied by the following documents in duplicate ", All documents required by the credit, including, of course, bills of lading, are in duplicate. Another example is the letter of credit which stipulates: "Full set of clean on board Bil1 of Lading issued..." This provision does not specify the number of copies, but means "full set", according to article 23A (4) of UCP500: "including a single set of original bills of lading, or if more than one original is issued, the full set of original bills of lading. Therefore, such provisions are subject to the number of originals issued by the actual ship.
15.提单号码(B/L NO)：Usually located in the upper right corner of the bill of lading, it is the carrier's shipping number to the consignor for the convenience of working contact and verification. Other documents, such as insurance policies and shipping advice, often require the bill of lading number to be indicated.
In addition to the above positive contents, the back of the ocean bill of lading is usually the Terms and Conditions of Shipment mutuality 1greed of shipper and carrier. Theoretically, such greed should be mutually agreed upon by shipper and carrier, but in fact, such greed is printed unilaterally by carrier. Shippers rarely have the opportunity to make modifications.
