B/L amendment request email template (English)

Ask the carrier or forwarder to correct a bill of lading that has already been issued: which field, the wording you need, and why. The emails are in English, the usual language of international trade. Nothing you type is sent to Triplicate.

Tips for this email

  1. Give the B/L number, the field, the current wording and the correct wording; ask for every change in one request, because carriers usually charge for each amendment.
  2. If the original bills have been issued, the carrier will usually need the full set back before it issues corrected ones, so check where the originals are before you ask.
  3. Under a letter of credit, make the corrected B/L match the credit and the other documents exactly, and tell the buyer or bank if the change affects the presentation date.
