Forwarder not sharing BL and exit point despite multiple follow-ups. What to do?

Good afternoon,

A forwarder on a Free on Board (FOB) basis is not sharing a copy of the Bill of Lading (BL) and exit point with us despite multiple follow-ups.

What can we do about this?

We need this copy for audit purposes.

Thank you!

Dear Client,

Thanks for your question! I hope you are doing well. I will definitely assist you in this matter.

If your forwarder on an FOB basis is not providing the Bill of Lading (BL) and exit point information for audit purposes, document your requests and review your contract for obligations.

Continue contacting the forwarder, request a clear timeline, and emphasize the importance of the documents.

If uncooperative, consider seeking legal advice from us, reaching out to industry associations, and escalating the matter to Federal Transport Authority - Land and Maritime (FTA) in the UAE if needed.

While waiting, maintain alternative records for your audit purposes to avoid delays in your business operations.

For any further legal assistance, you can WhatsApp us. We have an extensive team of knowledgeable and experienced lawyers to provide the legal assistance you need.

We will definitely be happy to help you.

Thanks & Regards,

ABDUL WAHIED
