Whether it is possible to amend or reissue an already issued B/L

  Since the type of B/L issued is unclear, I will explain both the cases for ORIGINAL B/L and SURRENDERED B/L. While the terms and handling methods of a B/L may vary depending on the forwarder, I will provide guidance on the generally accepted methods. [ORIGINAL B/L — If already sent to the buyer] After consulting with the loading port forwarder, you can have the B/L reissued through the loading port forwarder by returning it to the destination forwarder and submitting various requests, such as a memorandum for reissuance. Alternatively, you can submit a correction request, return the original B/L to the destination forwarder, and process a CORRECTION to modify and use the existing B/L. [If not yet sent] You can have it modified and reissued after returning the entire SET to the loading port forwarder. [SURRENDERED B/L] Since business can be conducted using electronic files, you can request a modification from the loading port forwarder and then use the corrected file. A point to note when reissuing is that if you correct the B/L contents after the document deadline or after departure, amendment and reissuance fees may be incurred. In particular, if a correction is made after the manifest has already been submitted to customs in the destination country, customs PENALTIES may also occur. Therefore, please ensure you consult with the buyer before proceeding with any corrections.
