Shipment advice的意思

"Shipment advice" is a term used in the context of international trade and logistics to refer to a document or message that provides information about a shipment of goods. It typically includes details such as the type and quantity of goods being shipped, the shipping date, the mode of transport, the route, and the estimated time of arrival (ETA).

The shipment advice is usually sent by the exporter or their freight forwarder to the importer or their agent, as well as to any other parties involved in the transaction, such as banks, insurance companies, and customs authorities. It serves as a notification that the goods have been dispatched and provides the necessary information for the recipient to prepare for the arrival of the shipment.

In some cases, the shipment advice may also include additional documents such as the commercial invoice, packing list, and certificate of origin, which are often required for customs clearance and other purposes.
