Freight Forwarder Can Issued And Sign Bill Without Indicating Its Capacity And Carrier's Name

[dodo]

Hi All,
it is very confused when i read the case as follows. In a book, they ask this statement is incorrect or not?

"A house air waybill which fails to indicate the name of the carrier and signed by the forwarder indicating that they were
acting as agents of the carrier, indicating airport of departure as LAX and airport of destination as ICN"

And the answer is inccorrect becuase that AWB fails to indicate the name of carrier.

Could you explain for me? I don't understand, because isbp says that freight forwarder can issued and sign bill without indicating its capacity and carrier's name.

Your quick reply is appreciated.

Hi Pal,

the problem is that the transport document is a normal AWB even if named HAWB.
Probably H3 b ISBP 745 it is applicable to l/c allowing HAWB, but in this case the transport document "however named" is a true AWB-
Other comments appreciated
Ciao

Insufficient Data provided by you.

Before making any conclusion, we have to know the requirement of DC in this regard : Whether the credit permits the "House Air way Bill" or not ? If credit states "House Air way Bill acceptable", then your answer is correct otherwise your answer is wrong.
