Dated shipment advice的意思

"Dated shipment advice" is a term used in the context of international trade and logistics. It refers to a document or message that provides information about a shipment, including details such as the date of shipment, the mode of transport, the route, the estimated time of arrival (ETA), and other relevant information.

The purpose of a dated shipment advice is to notify the consignee (the recipient of the goods) and any other interested parties (such as the buyer, the importer, or the customs authorities) about the shipment and its expected arrival date. This document is typically issued by the shipping company or the freight forwarder and is an important communication tool in the supply chain, as it allows all parties to plan for the arrival of the goods and make any necessary arrangements, such as booking warehouse space or arranging for customs clearance.

In some cases, the dated shipment advice may also include a copy of the bill of lading, which is the document that serves as the title of the goods and evidence of the contract of carriage. The bill of lading contains additional information about the shipment, such as the name of the shipper, the name of the consignee, the description of the goods, and the terms of the contract of carriage.
