Triplicate

B/L draft approval or correction email template (English)

Reply to the carrier's or forwarder's draft bill of lading: approve it, or list the corrections before the originals are issued. The emails are in English, the usual language of international trade. Nothing you type is sent to Triplicate.

Tips for this email

  1. Check every field against the shipping instruction, commercial invoice and packing list, and under a letter of credit against the credit's wording: shipper, consignee, notify party, ports, description, marks, packages and weights.
  2. Send all corrections in one reply with the current and the correct wording; amendments after the documentation cut-off or after the originals are issued usually cost a fee and take time.
  3. Approve only the final version, in writing, and keep the email: it shows what you confirmed if a question comes up later.
