House Bill of Lading
由貨運代理簽發給實際發貨人的提單,證明代理已接收貨物並承諾運送,通常用於併櫃(LCL)作業。
B/L issued by freight forwarder to actual shipper, evidencing cargo receipt and transport commitment, typically used for LCL.
LCL 出貨:發貨人持 HBL 為憑證;代理持 MBL 向船公司提貨後,再根據 HBL 分配貨物給各收貨人。
LCL shipment: Shipper holds HBL; forwarder uses MBL to collect cargo from carrier, then distributes per HBL to consignees.
HBL legal effect is weaker than MBL (carrier doesn't recognize HBL); forwarder bankruptcy requires MBL claim.
