I am working on an export side, previously I was working with different forwarder whose providing me OBL (Original Bill of Lading) that was ok with the L/C conditions.
Now I have connected with another forwarder who will provide me HBL (House Bill of Lading).
My concern is that my every L/Cs states below mentioned clauses for BL, so HBL is ok with the below-mentioned clauses or should I ask for OBL instead of HBL. Please suggest I am confused.
L/C Clauses:
Example 1) 3/3 ORIGINAL SHIPPED ON BOARD FREIGHT PREPAID BILLS OF LADING TO THE ORDER OF ABC BANK SHOWING BENEFICIARY AS SHIPPER AND THE NAME AND ADDRESS OF APPLICANT AS THE NOTIFY PARTY.
Example 2) FULL SET OF NOT LESS THAN TWO CLEAN ON-BOARD MARINE BILLS OF LADING MARKED FREIGHT PREPAID AND MADE OUT TO ORDER AND ENDORSED TO OUR ORDER, SHOWING NAME AND ADDRESS OF APPLICANT AS NOTIFYING PARTY.
SHORT FORM BILLS OF LADING ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE.
Example 3) FULL SET CLEAN ON BOARD MARINE BILLS OF LADING CONSIGNED TO THE ORDER OF ABC BANK. QUOTING OUR DOC CREDIT NO,MARKED FREIGHT PREPAID, NOTIFY: APPLICANT AS PER FIELD 50.
Example 4) FULL SET OF SHIPPED ON BOARD BILL OF LADING MARKED FREIGHT PREPAID ISSUED TO THE ORDER OF ABC BANK. NOTIFY APPLICANT.
Example 5) FULL SET OF CLEAN ON BOARD MARINE BILLS OF LADING MADE OUT TO THE ORDER OF ABC BANK MARKED 'FREIGHT PREPAID' NOTIFY: APPLICANT.
