Hi,

We bought cargo from our supplier (company X) that in turn bought the cargo from an end supplier (company Y).

Due to some reason, the end supplier (company Y) put incorrect information in the goods descrition field on the B/L.

I have checked with the shipping agent and it confirmed that I would not be able to change the goods description.

Could someone advise how we could resolve this problem, i.e. who and how to put the correct information on the goods description field of the B/L?

Thanks.

Thomas,

Goods decsription is "AAA" (the wrong information) while the invoice and packing list show "BBB" (the correct information).

Replying to [kai1]:let company X collect B/L, the end supplier company Y may be a factory has no knowledge on B/L, but company X should not make such a mistake.

Replying to [kai1]:chang invoice and paching list to incorrect as B/L, it's very simple.

Keith,

Changing the invoice and packing list is easy. But there are other consideration which I will not mention here since those consideration ar not relevant to readers of this forum.


To all who have offered your kind advice,
Thanks for your help. Actually the problem was resolved (because my buyer was understanding and cooperative).

Its very easy job. The shipping Company can only change
the description in B/L. The B/L is issued by the Shipping
company. The End Seller (The Shipping) will ask the Shipping Company to change the Description and the Shipping will notify
the agent (Port of Destination/port of discharge0 to read the
description so and so......You can also contact the Agent
of Shipping Company in your country.
