IV. goods collection and transportation:
The air freight forwarding company of consolidation integrates the goods of several consignors into a batch, uses a master waybill, handles the centralized shipment to the airline, and its foreign agents handle the receiving, customs declaration and other procedures at the destination port, and distributes the goods to the actual consignee. The mode of centralized shipment can achieve lower freight rates and is widely used in international air transport business. The figure is as follows:
SHIPPER 1↘ ↗ CNEE 1
SHIPPER 2→ CONSOLIDATOR → CARRIER → AGENT → CNEE 2
SHIPPER 3↗ ↘ CNEE 3

（A）LABEL
Label, is for the convenience of airlines and our company's foreign agents to distribute goods made of identification stickers.
The corresponding master waybill is the master label, which includes MAWB no, three word code of destination port and number of pieces;
The corresponding waybill is a sub label, which includes HAWB no, three word code of destination port and number of pieces.
（B） Freight rate code:
M: minimum charge, lowest freight;
N: normal rate, freight rate of general goods under 45kg;
Q: quality rate, freight rate of general goods above 45kg.
The air freight rate decreases with the increase of weight. The larger the weight is, the lower the freight rate is. Pay attention to use the "lower freight rate of higher weight grade" (depending on the freight rate grade) to avoid overpaying freight and causing loss.
C） Billing weight of goods
The weight of the goods is divided into gross weight and bulk weight.
① Gross weight, the actual weight of the goods, with 0.10kg as the measurement unit.
② Volume weight, the weight calculated according to the volume of the goods. The calculation formula used is: 6000 cm3 = 1kg or 1m3 = 167kg.
③ Chargeable weight: compare gross weight and volume weight, and take the larger one as the billing weight.
If the gross weight of the goods is greater than the volume weight, the goods are called heavy goods; otherwise
If the gross weight of the goods is less than the volume weight, the goods in this ticket are called bubble goods.

V. aerogeography (IATA transport conference area) and flight time calculation:
A.IATA Zoning: full understanding of aviation geography is very helpful to understand the freight rate and limit its scope of application. For some airlines, different IATA zoning, different fuel surcharges and safety surcharges.


IATA area I: mainly in South and North America. It includes four sub areas.
(1) Caribbean sub region; (2) Mexico sub region; (3) South America sub region; (4) remote sub region

IATA area II: mainly Europe and Africa. It includes three sub areas.
(1) Europe sub region; (2) Africa sub region; (3) Middle East sub region
Algeria, Morocco, Tunisia and Turkey belong to the European sub region;
Egypt and Sudan belong to the Middle East subregion.

IATA Area III: mainly Asia and Oceania. It includes four sub areas.
(1) South Asia sub region; (2) southeast Asia sub region; (3) southwest Pacific sub region; (4) Japan / Korean Peninsula sub region. (copy area map).

B.Calculation of flight time:
The earth's rotation produces time difference. We have a necessary understanding of this knowledge, which is of great help in arranging flights and considering transportation time
The world is divided into 24 time zones according to longitude. In & lt; & gt;, the time zones of each country are announced, according to which we can calculate the flight time

computational procedure:

1)Find the time zone where the origin and destination cities are located.
2)Convert takeoff time and local time of arrival to GMT.
3)The flight time is the arrival time minus the departure time.
For example, Air China flight ca931 took off from Beijing at 13:45 on Tuesday, December 12, and arrived at Frankfurt at 16:40 on the same day, calculating the whole transportation time.
Step 1: find out the standard time zone where the origin and destination are located.
PEK=GMT +0800(STANDARD TIME)
FRA=GMT+0200(STANDARD TIME)
GMT
+
Step 2: convert the departure time and arrival time to GMT.

Conversion of departure time and arrival time:

-When taking off and arriving east of Greenwich, subtract the time zone from the local time.
-Take off

Air waybill

I. nature and function of air waybill

Air bill is very different from sea bill, but it is similar to international railway bill. It is an important transport document of goods issued by the carrier or its agent, and it is the contract of carriage of both parties, and its content is binding on both parties. The air waybill is not transferable and the possession of the air waybill does not indicate that ownership of the goods can be claimed.

(1) an air waybill is a contract of carriage between the consignor and the air carrier

Unlike a sea bill of lading, an air waybill not only proves the existence of an air transport contract, but also itself is a contract of carriage of goods concluded between the consignor and the air transport carrier, which takes effect after being signed by both parties and becomes invalid when the goods arrive at the destination and are delivered to the consignee recorded in the waybill.

(2) an air waybill is a certificate issued by the carrier that the goods have been received

The air waybill is also the goods receipt. After the consignor ships the goods, the carrier or its agent will give one of the copies to the consignor (i.e. the consignor's copy) as the proof that the goods have been received. Unless otherwise noted, it is a proof that the carrier has received the goods and shipped them in good condition.

(3) The air waybill is the bill for the carrier to collect the freight

The air waybill records the expenses that belong to the consignee, the expenses that should be paid to the carrier and the fees that should be paid to the agent, and details the type and amount of the fee, so it can be used as the freight bill and invoice. Carriers often also use the carrier as a bookkeeping vouchers.

(4) The air waybill is one of the customs declaration documents

The air waybill at the time of export is one of the customs declaration documents. When the goods arrive at the destination airport for import declaration, the air waybill is usually the basic document for customs clearance.

(5) Air waybill can also be used as insurance certificate

If the carrier undertakes insurance or the consignor requires the carrier to act as insurance, the air waybill can also be used as an insurance certificate.

(6) Air waybill is the basis of the carrier's internal business

The air waybill is accompanied by the goods and proves the identity of the goods. The consignment note carries matters concerning the delivery, transshipment and delivery of the goods, and the carrier will accordingly arrange the transportation of the goods.

The original air waybill is in triplicate, each with a back clause printed on it, one of which is the carrier's or its agent's receipt of the goods; the second is retained by the carrier as a voucher; A copy of the goods, as the basis for the receipt of the goods when the goods arrive at the destination and are delivered to the consignee.

II. Classification of air waybills

Air waybills are mainly divided into two categories:

(1) Air Main Waybill (MAWB, Master Air Waybill)

An air waybill issued by an air transport company is called a main waybill. It is the basis for the air transport company to handle the transportation and delivery of goods. It is the transportation contract concluded between the airline and the shipper. Each batch of air transported goods has its own corresponding air main waybill.

(2) Air Waybill (HAWB, House Air Waybill)

The air waybill issued by the centralized shipper when handling the centralized consignment business is called the air waybill.

In the case of centralized consignment, in addition to the air waybill issued by the air transport company, the centralized shipper must also issue an air waybill. The relationship between the parties at this time is as shown.

In the middle, the air waybill is used as the cargo transportation contract between the centralized shipper and the shipper. The two parties are the goods A, B and the centralized shipper respectively; and the air waybill is the cargo between the air transport company and the centralized shipper. For the contract of carriage, the parties are centralized shippers and air transport companies. The owner has no direct contractual relationship with the air transport company.

Moreover, since the goods are delivered to the air transport company by the centralized shipper at the place of origin, the goods are taken from the air transport company at the destination by the centralized shipper or their agent, and then transferred to the consignee, so the shipper and the air transport company There is also no direct cargo handover relationship. Third, the contents of the air waybill

Air waybills are similar to ocean bills of lading. There are also positive and negative terms. Different airlines also have their own unique air waybill format. The difference is that the shipping company's ocean bill of lading may be different, but most of the air waybills used by airlines draw on the standard format recommended by IATA, the difference is not big. So we only introduce this standard format here, also known as the neutral waybill. The following sections describe the fields that need to be filled out as follows:

Freight forwarding basic concept

　　1. The definition of the general agent of the International Freight Forwarders Association is: according to the instructions of the customer, the person who picks up the goods for the benefit of the customer is not the carrier himself. The freight forwarder can also engage in activities related to the delivery contract, such as storage, customs declaration, acceptance, and collection.

　　2. The definition of the implementation rules of China's international freight forwarding industry management regulations is: international freight forwarding agency enterprises can act as the consignee of import and export goods, the agent of the consignor, or as an independent operator to engage in international freight forwarding business.

　The international freight forwarding enterprise as an agent engaged in international freight forwarding business means that the international freight forwarding enterprise accepts the entrustment of the consignee or consignor or its agent in and out of the goods, handles the relevant business in the name of the principal or own, and collects the agency fee. Or commission behavior.

　　As an independent operator, the international freight forwarding enterprise engages in international freight forwarding business, which means that the international freight forwarding enterprise accepts the entrustment of the consignee, consignor or its agent to enter and leave the goods, issues the transport document, fulfills the transportation contract and collects the freight and service fee. the behavior of.

Freight forwarding service object

　　Judging from the basic nature of international freight forwarders, freight forwarders are mainly entrusted by the entrusting party to deal with matters such as cargo transportation, transshipment, warehousing, loading and unloading. On the one hand, it enters into a contract of carriage with the shipper of the goods, and at the same time he signs a contract with the transport department, which is the carrier of the goods for the shipper. At present, a considerable number of cargo agents are in charge of all kinds of transportation tools and storage yards for storing goods, and handle the transportation of goods including sea, land and air when operating their business. The main business of the International Freight Forwarding Agency is:

　　I. Serving shippers

　　The freight forwarder replaces the consignor to undertake any procedure in the transportation of different goods:

　　1. Arrange the appropriate cargo packaging and choose the transportation route of the goods in the fastest and most economical way of transportation.

　　2. Suggest storage and distribution to customers.

　　3. Select a reliable and efficient carrier and be responsible for concluding the transportation contract.

　　4. Arrange the weighting and measurement of the goods.

　　5. Handle cargo insurance.

　　6. the assembly of goods.

　　7. Store the goods before shipment or before the goods are sorted at the destination.

　　8. Arrange the transportation of goods to the port, go through the formalities of customs and related documents, and hand over the goods to the carrier.

　　9. On behalf of the shipper/importer, the shipping fee and customs duty.

　　10. Handle any foreign exchange transactions related to the transportation of goods.

　　11. Obtain various signed bills of lading from the carrier and hand them over to the shipper.

　　12. Supervise the process of cargo transportation by contacting the carrier with the agent of the freight forwarder abroad, and let the shipper know where the goods are going.

　　II. Serving customs

　　When a freight forwarder acts as a customs agent to handle customs formalities related to import and export goods, it not only represents his clients but also represents customs authorities. In fact, in many countries, he has obtained the permission of these authorities, handles customs procedures, and is responsible to the customs. He is responsible for the early issuance of documents, the exact amount, quantity and name of the goods, so that the government does not Suffered from loss.

　　III. Serving carriers

　　The freight forwarder timely settles the carrier, agrees on the fair and reasonable cost to the consignor and the carrier, arranges the delivery at the appropriate time, and resolves the carrier's freight account in the name of the consignor.

　　IV. service for airlines

　　Freight forwarders act as agents for airlines in the air transport industry. It is designated as the agent of IATA for the purpose of air cargo transportation. In this relationship, it uses the carrier's freight means to serve the cargo owner, and the carrier pays the Commission. At the same time, as a freight forwarder, it continues to serve the consignor or consignee by providing services suitable for air transportation.

　　V. service for liner company

　　The relationship between freight forwarders and liner companies varies with their business. In recent years, the LCL service provided by freight forwarders, i.e. the consolidation service of LCL goods, has established a relatively close relationship between them and liner companies and other carriers (such as railways). However, some countries refuse to pay commissions to freight forwarders, so they strive for commissions worldwide.

　　VI. providing LCL service

　　With the growth of intermediate loading and transportation in international trade, the freight forwarder takes the role of the principal in providing the services of container consolidation and consolidation. The basic meaning of consolidation and LCL is to gather the small goods sent by several consignors in one place of shipment to several consignees in another place of destination as a freight forwarder of the whole goods to the destination, and deliver the single bill of goods to each consignee through it. The freight forwarder issues the bill of lading, that is to say, the bill of lading or other similar receipts shall be delivered to the consignor of each bill of goods; the freight forwarder's agent at the port of destination shall deliver the bill of lading to the consignee with the original bill of lading. The consignee and consignor of LCL do not contact with the carrier directly. For the carrier, the freight forwarder is the consignor, while the agent of the Freight Forwarder at the destination port is the consignee. Therefore, the carrier issues a full bill of lading or a waybill to the forwarder. If the consignor or consignee has special requirements, the freight forwarder can also provide door-to-door services at the place of shipment and destination.

　　VII. Providing multimodal transport services

　　In the role of freight forwarder, a more far-reaching influence of containerization is that it intervenes in multimodal transport, which is that it acts as the main carrier and undertakes to organize a single contract to carry out door-to-door freight transport through multiple modes of transport. It can negotiate and sign contracts separately with other carriers or other service providers as parties. However, these allocation contracts will not affect the implementation of the multimodal transport contract, that is to say, will not affect the obligations of the consignor and his responsibility for the damage and loss of the goods in the process of multimodal transport. When a freight forwarder acts as a multimodal transport operator, it usually needs to provide a comprehensive "package" of services including all transport and distribution processes, and assume a higher level of responsibility for its customers.

　　Responsibilities of freight forwarders

　　1. Basic responsibilities

　　As the carrier completes the transportation of the goods and assumes responsibility (by issuing the shipping documents, using their own transportation, or entrusting others to complete the transportation of the goods, and collecting the freight).

　　It is not directly responsible for the carriage of goods by the carrier (issuing the shipping documents by others, using the means of transportation, or renting other people's means of transport, or renting other people's means of transport, or entrusting others to complete the transportation of the goods, is not directly responsible).

　　In accordance with the agreement or contract with the entrusting party, or when conducting business activities in accordance with the instructions of the entrusting party, the freight forwarder shall complete the entrustment with the usual responsibility, especially within the scope of the authorization.

　　Report all important matters truthfully. The information and materials provided to the entrusting party in the entrusted business must be true. If there is any concealment or the loss of the information provided, the entrusting party has the right to pursue and cancel the agency contract or agreement with the freight forwarder.

　　Negative confidentiality obligations. The information obtained during the freight forwarding process is leaked to third parties. At the same time, the transfer of agency rights may not be transferred to others.

　　2. Term of liability

　　From the time the goods are received to the destination, the goods are delivered to the consignee, or the goods are placed at the place indicated by the consignee as directed and fulfilled and fulfilled the delivery obligations specified in the contract.

　　3. Responsibility for the contract

　　The international freight forwarder shall be liable for the loss of the goods caused by the failure to execute the contract.

　　4. Responsibility for warehousing

　　When accepting the goods for storage, the freight forwarder shall, after receiving the goods, give the entrusting party a receipt or warehouse certificate, and perform their duties during the storage of the goods, and select different storage methods according to the characteristics and packaging of the goods.

　　5. The right

　　The entrusting party shall pay to the freight forwarder all expenses incurred in the transportation, storage, insurance, customs clearance, visas, handling of documents, etc., and other services provided by the freight forwarder, and also due to the reasons why the freight forwarder cannot control it. Other expenses resulting from the inability to perform the contract. If the loss or damage of the goods falls within the scope of the insurer's contract, after the freight forwarder compensates, the subrogation right is obtained from the owner of the goods, and compensation or reimbursement is obtained from other responsible persons. When the freight forwarder fully compensates the goods, the ownership of the goods is transferred to the freight forwarder.

　　6. Exclusions

　　① Due to negligence or negligence of the client.

　　② Due to the fault of the principal or other agent during loading, unloading, warehousing or other operations.

　　③ Due to the natural characteristics or potential defects of the goods.

　　④ Due to the unsound packaging of the goods, the sign is unclear.

　　⑤ Due to the unclear, incomplete and inaccurate delivery of goods.

　　⑥ Due to unclear and incomplete representation of the contents of the goods.

　　⑦ Due to force majeure, natural disasters, accidents

　　However, if it can be proved that the loss or damage of the goods is caused by the negligence or negligence of the freight forwarder, or the loss of the goods, the damages shall be compensated.

　　Freight forwarding liability

　　The general terms and conditions of the freight forwarding association also stipulates the principle of compensation in two aspects: one is the principle of liability, and the other is the limitation of liability.

　　I. Principle of liability

　　If the consignee finds that the goods have been lost or damaged, and can prove that the loss or damage was caused by the negligence of the freight forwarder, that is, to file a claim with the freight forwarder, in general, the notice of the claim shall not exceed the number of days after the arrival of the goods. Otherwise, the delivery obligation has been fulfilled as a freight forwarder. Basic compensation principle for freight forwarding:

　　1. If the market price or the current price of the goods at the grounding point is different from the invoice amount, but the difference cannot be determined, the invoice amount shall be compensated.

　 2. No compensation shall be paid for antiques and other special value of goods of no actual value. (unless a special statement is made and the fee is paid)

　　3. the team also lives in accordance with the law, the freight, customs tax, and other expenses are responsible for compensation. But no compensation for further losses.

　　4. Partial loss or damage of the goods shall be compensated in proportion.

　　5. If the goods are still delivered within the delivery date of the delivery date, it constitutes a delay in delivery, and the freight forwarder shall compensate for the direct consequences and reasonable expenses that may be caused by the delay.

　　II. Limitation of liability

　　From the existing international conventions, some adopt the single standard compensation method, some adopt the double standard compensation method, so should the compensation method for the international freight forwarder, but the actual practices are different and the differences are large.

　　Container full container flow process:

　　1. The shipper configures the container in his own factory or warehouse;

　　2. The consignor shall pack the goods in his own factory or warehouse;

1. By ship operation mode

　(1) the term "regular route" refers to a route that uses fixed ships, sails according to a fixed schedule and port, and operates passenger and cargo transportation business at a relatively fixed freight rate. Regular routes, also known as liner routes, mainly carry miscellaneous goods. (2) irregular route is the route selected temporarily according to the needs of freight transportation. Ships, shipping dates and ports are not fixed. They are mainly engaged in bulk and low-cost cargo transportation.

　　2. By distance

　　(1) ocean-going shipping line refers to the shipping line with a long distance and a ship sailing across the ocean, such as the route to Europe and America as far east. Our country is used to taking Aden port as the boundary, and the routes to the west of Aden port, including the two sides of the Red Sea, Europe and the vast areas of North and South America, are classified as ocean routes. (2) near sea shipping line refers to the general designation of the sea transportation routes between the ports of our country and the ports of neighboring countries. In China, the routes in Asia and Oceania to the east of port Aden are usually called near sea routes. (3) coastal shipping line refers to the sea transportation routes between the ports of our country, such as Shanghai / Guangzhou, Qingdao / Dalian, etc.

　　3. According to the scope of navigation: (1) Atlantic route; (2) Pacific route; (3) Indian ocean route; (4) global route

1. According to whether the goods have been loaded on board, they can be divided into shipped on board B / L and receivedfor shipment B / L. The former refers to the bill of lading issued after the goods have been loaded on the ship, while the latter refers to the bill of lading issued when the carrier has taken over the goods and is ready to ship, so it is also called the received to be shipped Bill of lading. In the trade contract, the buyer generally requires the seller to provide the on board B / L, because the on board B / L has the name of the ship and the date of shipment, which guarantees the consignee to receive the goods on time.

　　2. The bill of lading can be divided into clean bill of lading (clean / L) and unclean or foul B / L according to whether there are bad comments on the appearance of the goods. The former refers to the bill of lading whose surface condition is good when the goods are loaded on board, and which generally does not indicate that the goods and / or the packing are defective. In foreign trade, for the sake of security, the bank requires clean B / L when negotiating payment. The latter refers to the bill of lading on which the carrier has annotated the goods and / or poor packing condition or defects.

　3. According to different modes of transportation, B / l can be divided into direct B / L, transshipment B / L, through B / / L and combined transport B / L. Direct bill of lading is a bill of lading issued by the carrier and shipped directly from the port of departure to the port of destination. If the cargo ship at the port of departure does not sail directly to the port of destination, the bill of lading issued when another ship arrives at the port of destination shall be replaced at the port of transshipment, which is called the transshipment bill of lading. If the goods need to be transported through two or more stages to the destination port, and one of them is by sea, such as land and sea, the bill of lading issued by air sea or sea sea sea combined transport is called combined transport bill of lading. So transshipment bill of lading is actually a kind of through bill of lading. However, the combined transportation must be the consistent transportation of two or more different modes of transportation, and the cargo bill of lading issued by the carrier. Therefore, the combined transport bill of lading is also called multimodal transport bill of lading. At present, in practical business, many shipping companies use the same format of combined transport bill of lading and combined transport bill of lading. Only when they are used as combined transport bill of lading, they must list the port of departure and the port of destination on the bill of lading, as well as the place of receipt, the place of delivery and the name of the preceding means of transport.

　4. According to the different title of B / L, B / l can be divided into straight B / L, bearer B / L and order B / L. A straight bill of lading lists the name of the consignee in the column of the consignee, so it is also called the consignee's header bill of lading. This kind of bill of lading can't be transferred by endorsement, and the goods can only be delivered to the consignee listed. A bearer bill of lading is a bill of lading in which the name of the consignee is not listed on the bill of lading. Whoever holds the bill of lading can take delivery of the goods to the carrier by presentation, and the carrier's delivery is based on the voucher. The instruction bill of lading, which does not list the consignee, can be transferred by endorsement, which is conducive to the turnover of funds and is widely used in international trade. Endorsement of bill of lading (Endorsement) has two kinds: blank endorsement and registered endorsement. Blank endorsement is signed by the endorser (i.e. the transferor of the bill of lading) on the back of the bill of lading with the name of the endorser's unit and the signature of the person in charge, but does not indicate the name of the endorsee or require the approval of the issuer of the original bill of lading. Indicating that a bill of lading can be transferred upon endorsement means that the endorser confirms the transfer of ownership of the bill of lading. In addition to the endorsement in blank, the name of the endorsee shall also be indicated. If the endorsee makes another transfer, it must be endorsed. If the bill of lading has the instructions of the shipper, the consignee and the importer's Bank, it can be transferred or picked up only after the endorsement of the shipper, the consignee or the importer's Bank.

　　In addition, there are full bill of lading and simple bill of lading; freight prepaid bill of lading and freight collect bill of lading; original bill of lading and duplicate bill of lading; bill of lading under charter party; deck bill of lading, counter signed bill of lading, advance bill of lading and so on.

(1) the shipping note (B / N) is called "delivery note" in some places. It is a document filled in by the shipper according to the trade contract and the terms of the letter of credit and used by the carrier or its agent to handle the shipment of goods. According to the contents of the consignment note, considering the route, port of call, time and space of the ship, the carrier will accept the consignment when he thinks it is appropriate. When making the consignment note: (1) port of destination: the name shall be clear and specific, and shall be consistent with the description of the letter of credit. If there is a port with the same name, the country, region, state and city shall be indicated after the port name. If the L / C stipulates that the destination port is an optional port, it shall be the basic port of the same route and the same voyage.

　　(2) transportation number, i.e. the number of the power of attorney.

　　Each shipper with import and export rights has a shipping code (usually commercial invoice number) for checking and financial settlement.

　　(3) name of goods

　　According to the actual name of the goods, it should be filled in both Chinese and English. More importantly, it should be consistent with the name of the goods listed in the letter of credit.

　　(4) marks and numbers, also known as shipping mark, are used to identify goods and prevent wrong delivery. They are usually composed of model, graphic receiving unit abbreviation, destination port, number of pieces or batch number, etc.

　　(5) weight measurement. The unit of weight is kilogram and the size is cubic meter;

　　(6) for palletized goods, the weight, size and weight of the goods shall be indicated respectively. For super long, overweight and super high goods, the detailed volume (length, width and height) and weight of each piece shall be provided, so that the freight company can calculate the stowage factor of the goods and arrange special loading equipment.

　　(7) payment method of freight. Generally, there are freight prepaid and freight collect. For some transshipment goods, the first freight shall be prepaid and the second freight shall be paid upon arrival, which shall be indicated separately.

　　(8) transshipment, partial shipment, loading period and validity period shall be indicated in accordance with the requirements of the L / C or the contract.

　　(9) notify person, consignee, and decide whether to fill in as required.

　　(10) relevant terms of transport, booking of shipping space and stowage of L / C goods shall also be listed one by one if the customer has special requirements.

　　(2) shipping order -- S / O

　　It is a shipping company that has accepted the shipper's application for shipment and issued it to the shipper to order the master to ship the goods. The shipping order is not only the basis for shipment, but also one of the main documents for the consignor to go through the export declaration formalities with the customs.

　　(3) goods receipt (M / R);

　　Also known as the chief mate's receipt, it is the receipt of the goods received by the ship and the evidence that the goods have been loaded on board.

　　As the main items of the above three documents are basically the same, in some major ports of our country, the method is to make them into joint documents and make documents at one time, which can not only reduce workload, but also reduce errors.

　　(4) loading list

　　It is the summary list of loading list prepared by the carrier according to the bottom of the loading list, the classification of the whole ship's goods to be loaded according to the port of destination and the nature of the goods, and the sequence of voyage and port. It is the main basis for the chief mate of the ship to prepare the stowage plan. It is also the business document for the site tally personnel to tally the goods, the port side to arrange the lightering, in and out of the warehouse and the carrier to master the situation.

　　(5) delivery order -- D / O

　　Also known as small bill of lading. If the consignee exchanges the original bill of lading or the duplicate bill of lading with the valid guarantee to the carrier or its agent, it may take the certificate of goods from the port loading and unloading department. When issuing small bills of lading, the following should be done: (1) the original bill of lading is held by the legal holder; (2) the non clean annotation on the bill of lading should be transferred to the small bill of lading. (3) in case of overflow, shortage and disability, the consignee is entitled to obtain corresponding visa from the carrier or its agent. (4) if the freight is not paid, the bill of lading can be released only after the consignee has paid the freight and related expenses.

　　(6) Bill of lading (B / L) is the receipt of goods issued by the carrier or his agent at the request of the shipper, which is issued after the goods are taken into his care to prove that the goods listed in the bill of lading have been received; it is a document of title. The holder of the bill of lading can take delivery of the goods, or use it to negotiate with the bank, or transfer the goods before the ship arrives at the port of destination for delivery, which is the proof of the contract of carriage between the carrier and the shipper.

　　A bill of lading in which the cargo is loaded on the open deck of a ship and the words "甲板上" are indicated.

1. The bill of lading is the receipt of the carrier for receiving the goods or loading the goods

　　Generally speaking, a bill of lading issued by the carrier or its agent after the goods have been loaded on board indicates that the goods have been received or loaded by the carrier. However, in the actual business, after the cargo is loaded on board, the first mate's receipt issued by the first mate who is responsible for supervising the loading is used as the receipt for the carrier to take over the cargo or load the cargo. The bill of lading is based on the first mate's receipt or station receipt, which records the contents of the first mate's receipt or station receipt, so the bill of lading also has the function of the carrier's receipt for receiving goods or loading goods. Although the first mate's receipt or station receipt is the original receipt of the goods received by the carrier, they are only used as shipping documents or transport documents; what the shipper ultimately needs is not shipping documents, but bills of lading that can be used for settlement of foreign exchange, by which the consignee can take delivery of the goods and for commercial circulation. Therefore, the bill of lading is not only a shipping (or transportation) document, but also a commercial (business) document.

　　As the goods receipt, the bill of lading not only proves the name, type, quantity, mark and appearance of the goods received, but also proves the time of receiving the goods. In international trade, it is customary to ship the goods to symbolize the delivery of the goods by the seller to the buyer, so the time when the on board bill of lading is issued means the delivery time of the seller. In practice, when the shipper obtains the on board B / L, he can settle the foreign exchange with the bank and get the payment. Therefore, it is very necessary to prove the time of shipment of the goods with the bill of lading.

2. The bill of lading is the proof of the establishment of the contract of carriage of goods by sea

　　For the establishment of liner cargo transportation contract, first of all, the shipper shall book the space at the shipping company or its agent (shipping agent) with the consignment note or the letter of authorization for booking the space, which can be called "offer". If the carrier can meet the requirements of the shipper, accept the booking, determine the ship name, voyage number, bill of lading number, and sign on the shipping note, it can be called "commitment", that is, the contract of carriage of goods by sea is established. This agreement is the basis for both parties to arrange the transportation of goods. In case of any dispute, this Agreement shall also be the basis for settling the dispute.

　　The B / L is obtained after the goods are loaded on board, or in the process of contract performance. However, the right and obligation between the consignor and the consignor are not stipulated in the consignment note or the letter of authorization for booking space, while the clauses on the back of the bill of lading are stipulated, and the legal recognition is the basis for solving the disputes of liner cargo transportation. However, according to the strict legal concept, the bill of lading does not fully meet the basic conditions of an economic contract. It is not the product of the agreement between the two parties. The terms of the bill of lading that bind the two parties are formulated unilaterally by the carrier, or even issued by the bill of lading. The shipper does not look at them at all, so he goes to the bank to settle the exchange. In practice, what's more, I have been engaged in international trade for many years, but I don't know what terms and regulations the bill of lading has. Therefore, the issuance of a bill of lading by the carrier is only a certificate of the conclusion of the contract of carriage of goods by sea. If the consignor and the consignor have no agreement or contract other than the bill of lading, then the bill of lading is a certificate of the contract with the terms on the bill of lading.

　　If the shipper and the carrier have a contract of carriage, the rights and obligations of the consignor and the consignor shall be based on the contract; however, the rights and obligations of the consignee or the holder of the bill of lading and the carrier shall be handled according to the terms of the bill of lading, which is the contract of carriage between the consignee and the carrier. Article 78 of China's maritime law stipulates that "the rights and obligations of the carrier, the consignee and the holder of the bill of lading shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of the bill of lading."

3. The bill of lading is the document of title that the carrier guarantees to deliver the goods and transfer

　　According to the definition of B / L, the carrier should deliver the goods by B / L according to the provisions of B / L, and whoever holds the B / l can take delivery of the goods; the holder of B / L, no matter who, as long as he can deliver the B / L, the carrier guarantees to deliver the goods by way of B / L, he will not ask where the B / L comes from, or even investigate how to legally hold the B / L. Therefore, the holder of the bill of lading is the owner of the real right, which fully shows that the bill of lading is a document of real right. Except for the provisions of the law, the bill of lading can be transferred and mortgaged.

　　In order to speed up the circulation of goods and facilitate the financing, there has been "documentary trading" in international trade. As long as the document holder transfers the document representing a certain property or asset to another person, it means the transfer of ownership of the property or asset, and the transferor can obtain the price in time to accelerate the capital turnover. Since the bill of lading is a document of real right, in order to meet the above needs, in addition to the non-negotiable bill of lading, it can be sold and transferred by endorsement, which plays a very important role in international trade.

　　However, the transfer of B / L is restricted by certain conditions: first, the transfer of B / L must be valid before the carrier delivers the goods at the port of destination. If the carrier delivers the goods with one original B / L, the remaining copies will lose their validity, and the B / l can no longer be transferred; second, the holder of B / L must negotiate with the carrier to take delivery of the goods within a certain period of time when the goods arrive at the port of destination Third, the carrier can exercise the right to dispose of the undeliverable goods, which limits the validity of the bill of lading as the document of title.

　　In addition to the above nature and function, B / L plays an important role in business contact, cost settlement, foreign claims, etc

I. liner rate 

　　(I) relevant terms: 

　　1. Basic rate refers to the basic freight charged for each freight unit (such as one freight ton). The basic rate is divided into grade rate, goods rate, ad valorem rate, special rate and uniform rate. Liner freight is composed of basic freight and surcharges. 

　　2. Surcharges: in order to maintain the stability of the basic rate in a certain period of time, and correctly reflect the shipping costs of various goods in each port, liner companies have stipulated various fees in addition to the basic rate. There are: 

　　(1) fuel surcharge (b.a.f.) is added when fuel price suddenly rises. 

　　(2) devaluation surcharge or currency adjustment factor -- c.a.f. in case of devaluation, the ship's actual income will not be reduced, and the surcharges will be increased by a certain percentage of the basic freight rate. 

　　(3) transshipment surcharges. The surcharges charged by the shipowner, including transshipment fee and second voyage freight, for the goods to be transported to the non basic port and to the destination port. 

　　(4) direct additional. When the cargo transported to the non basic port reaches a certain quantity, the shipping company can arrange the additional charges for direct shipping to the port without transshipment. 

　　(5) heavy lift additional, long length additional and super charge of bulk cargo. A surcharge charged when the gross weight or length or volume of a piece of goods exceeds or reaches the value specified in this tariff. 

　　(6) port additional or port surcharge. In some ports, due to poor equipment conditions or low loading and unloading efficiency, as well as other reasons, surcharges are imposed by shipping companies.　　 

　　(7) port congestion surcharge. Some ports are overcrowded, and ships have increased their berthing time. 

　　(8) optional surcharges. If the shipper can not determine the specific port of discharge at the time of shipment, it is required to choose one of the two or more ports proposed in advance to discharge the cargo, and the ship will charge additional charges. 

　　(9) change of the port of discharge surcharge: the additional charge that the owner requires to change the original port of discharge with the permission of the relevant authority (such as Haiguan) and the consent of the shipowner. 

　　(10) deviation surcharge. The additional charge imposed by the ship when the ship has to make a detour to transport the goods to the destination port because the normal channel is blocked. 

　　(II) freight calculation standard (basis / unit for freight calculation): it is usually calculated according to the weight of the goods; according to the size or volume of the goods; according to the weight or size of the goods, select the one with the higher freight charge; charge a certain percentage of the FOB price of the goods as the fee, which is called ad valorem freight; calculate and collect according to the unit of each piece; charge freight according to the price temporarily agreed by both parties of the goods, which is called ad valorem freight For bargaining. 

　　(III) freight calculation steps: 

　　(1) select the relevant freight cost; 

　　(2) according to the name of the goods, the freight calculation standard (basis) and class are found in the goods classification table; 

　　(3) in the basic rate part of the level rate table, find the corresponding route, departure port and destination port, and find the basic freight rate by level. 

　　(4) find out all the items and amount (or percentage) and currency types of surcharges receivable (paid) from the surcharges; 

　　(5) calculate the actual freight rate according to the basic freight rate and surcharge; 

　　(6) freight = freight rate X freight ton 

　　II. Freight calculation of charter party: 

　　There are some stipulated freight rates in the charter party, which are calculated by the amount of each unit weight or volume of the goods, and some stipulated lump sum freight. The level of the rate mainly depends on the supply and demand of the charter market, but it is also related to the transportation distance, the type of goods, the loading and unloading rate, the use of the port, the division of loading and unloading expenses and the level of commission. In the contract, the freight shall be calculated according to the loading weight (intaken quantity) or the delivered quantity. If the freight is prepaid or paid on arrival, it shall be specified. It should be noted in particular that the freight payable time refers to the date of receipt by the owner, not the date of payment by the charterer. 

　　Division of handling costs: 

　　(1) gross or liner or berth terms, also known as "Liner conditions". 

　　(2) when adopting the condition of free in and out -- FIO, the shipowner shall also make clear who shall bear the charge for stowage and flat charge. Generally, charterers are required to bear, that is, the shipowner does not bear loading and unloading, free in and out, stowed, trimmed -- f.i.o.s.t. 

　　(3) free out -- F.O. conditions. 

　　(4) free in -- f.i. 

　　III. container freight 

　　At present, the container freight system is more mature than the inland freight system. Basically, it can be divided into two categories: one is the calculation method of the freight of the general cargo, i.e. the unit is per freight ton (commonly known as the bulk price), and the other is per container (commonly known as the package price). 

　　1. Basic rate of general cargo plus surcharge: 

　　(1) basic rate -- referring to the freight rate of traditional general cargo, the freight ton is used as the calculation unit, and the grade rate is used in most routes. 

　　(2) surcharges - in addition to the regular surcharges for traditional groceries, there are also surcharges related to the transportation of container goods. 

　　2. Box rate: this rate is based on each container. It is commonly used in the case of container delivery, i.e. cfs-cy or CY-CY terms. The common box rate has the following three forms: 

　　(1) FAK packing rate (freight for all kinds) - that is, for each container, it does not subdivide the goods in the container, and does not count the freight uniformly charged for the quantity of goods (within the important limit). 

　　(2) FCS freight for class: the freight rate of general cargo in container is the same as that of general cargo transportation, but the freight rate difference of general cargo in container is much smaller than that of general cargo. The charge of general low-level container is higher than that of traditional transportation, and the charge of high-price container is lower than that of traditional transportation The freight rate of container is higher than that of volume. It can be seen that the shipping company encourages people to pack and transport high priced goods and bulk goods. Under this rate, the LCL freight calculation is the same as the traditional transportation. According to the name of the goods, we can find the grade, calculate the standard, and then set the corresponding rate, multiply the freight ton, that is the freight. 

　　(3) FCB packing rate (freight for class or basis) - this is the rate formulated according to different goods grades or categories and calculation standards.

Five navigation rights

The right of navigation "is called" freedom of the air "according to international practice. The concept of "traffic rights" originated from the "Chicago conference" in 1944, also known as "freedom of the air". Its legal basis is the provisions of the international air transit agreement (commonly known as the "two free agreements") and the international air transport agreement (commonly known as the "five free agreements") in 1944.

　　 The first right of navigation, the right of overflight;

         Second right of navigation, right of technical suspension;

         Third right of navigation, destination underground passenger and cargo rights;

         The fourth right of navigation, the right to pick up passengers and goods at the destination;

         The fifth right of navigation is the right to pick up and disembark passengers or goods at a certain point within the territory of a third country.

　　Specific explanation: the third aviation right refers to the right of an airline in one country or region to carry passengers and goods from its country or region of registration to another country or region;　

　　The fourth right of navigation refers to the right of an airline of one country or region to carry passengers and goods from another country or region back to its country or region of registration;

　　The fifth aviation right refers to the right of an airline of a country or region to carry passengers and goods between two countries or regions outside its country or region of registration, but the starting point of its flight must be its country or region of registration.
