To collect MBL - how many HBL is required ?
The logistics provider must first satisfy the agreement made between the shipper (origin) and the Carrier (Air, ocean).the agreement is done be completing the necessary bills of lading and finally transferring them to the consignee.
On the back of every (HBL)is terms and conditions set forth which assigns cargo responsibility, liability and trade terms based on the Geneva Convention and Hague Act.
For more details we take the example,
A, a freight forwarder acts as a carrier legally accepts cargo from an exporter X agreeing to deliver cargo to Y at Dubai. A issues bill of lading to X on receipt of goods after necessary export customs formalities. A after receiving goods from X transfers goods to C who is a main carrier of goods. While transferring goods to C, A obtains a bill of lading from main carrier C agreeing to deliver cargo at New York. Here, the bill of lading issued by A to X is called house bill of lading and the bill of lading issued by C to A is called Master Bill of Lading.
