Is the international cargo transport agents association ( FIATA) Recommended international freight agent use of documents, the organization is the proof of receipt of the goods freight forwarders. What situations you will encounter FCR? FCR only appear in the FOB or under EXW terms. In the export business, when the buyer for the famous international supermarket or large construction projects of the purchaser, because of the large number of the order, the cycle is long, an order several times may transport, the buyer to save time and freight, in conclude when buying and selling contract often require the use of FOB price terms or EXW price terms. FCR to control the main characteristics of transport of goods by the buyer, as designated by the buyer the seller deliver the cargo to forwarder, the freight agent package under several containers to the ship company in advance, and then by the freight forwarder is responsible for loading, for the goods arrived at destination, and shall be the responsibility of the shipping agent in destination agent brought the ark, and distributed to different parts of the consignee. Thus: 1, and the shipping company to sign the contract of transport by sea is the freight agent instead of the shipper; 2, after the shipper deliver the cargo to the forwarder, the documents is FCR instead of Marine bill of lading; 3, FCR just for receipt of the shipper, just promise the goods can be shipped to the destination shown on the FCR; 4, the buyer does not need FCR to pick up the goods, no cargo rights protection; 5, the distinction between FCR and negotiability of the bill of lading, only to the named consignee ( Out of the situation you can't resell) 。 What kind of problem FCR will give exporters?

So, the buyer will, even if no pay also may first attempt to pick up the goods. In the process, once appear problem, a lot of time is not clear who to who wrong, but disagreements, buyers will grasp the initiative, advantage of the characteristics of FCR, first pick up the goods, does not affect your sales, at the same time, find a reason, Fault too easy) Temporarily no payment no give money, export manufacturers to bring cash flow pressure, forced into submission.

FCR the risk aversion of 1, to understand the FCR above two kinds of different ways of records, will influence the legal status of FCR, when drawn FCR so, the seller may specify & other requirements; The goods to the consignee & throughout; 。 ( But in the case of buyer's designated forwarder, forwarder need to be responsible to the buyer, the operation is more difficult to perform) 2, when signing the sales contract, the shipper don't agree to substitute FCR for Marine bill of lading. The application of the bill of lading generally has nothing to do with the price terms of contract, as long as the trading contract with foreign exchange settlement, bills of lading after the goods by the carrier or the shipment, as long as shipper's request, the carrier should be issued by the bill of lading. 3, to the sinosure insurance application is put forward.
