Surrendered b l意思

"Surrendered B/L" is an acronym often used in the context of international shipping and trade. It stands for "Surrendered Bill of Lading." A Bill of Lading (B/L) is a document that serves as a receipt for goods, evidence of the contract of carriage, and a document of title.

A Surrendered Bill of Lading means that the original bill of lading has been returned to the party that issued it (usually the carrier or their agent), typically after the goods have been delivered to the consignee or their authorized agent. The term "surrendered" implies that the document has been used for its intended purpose and is no longer valid or needed.

In the context of shipping, the bill of lading is often a key document in the process of releasing the goods to the consignee. The consignee, who is the person or company named as the recipient of the goods, may be required to present the original bill of lading to the carrier or their agent before the goods can be released. Once the goods have been delivered and the bill of lading has served its purpose, it is "surrendered" back to the issuer.

Surrendering the bill of lading is usually done to prevent its further use for claiming the goods, as it is a document of title and can be used by anyone in possession of it to claim the goods from the carrier. By surrendering the original bill of lading, the holder is indicating that the goods have been received and the document is no longer required.
