Logistics Q&A
We recently had a shipment delivered to Southeast Asia, and the freight forwarder asked me whether to provide the original bill of lading, a SEAWAY BILL, or an electronic release. The client said they wanted to pick up the goods quickly but didn't want to pay the additional electronic release fee. I checked and found out that a SEAWAY BILL also doesn't require an original copy. So what's the difference between it and an electronic release? Which one carries the least risk for us exporters? Would it affect our ability to collect payments?
The customer mentioned in the email that Calendar Season will affect the delivery date. What does this mean exactly? What specific impact does it have on our order?
