FIATA Documents: the great unknown
a) Approximation
In the same way as international multimodal transport is the great unknown among international transportation, we can also say that your documents (known as FIATA documents) have and also a very low popularity rating.
It goes without saying that the issuance of FIATA borne by freight forwarders, as a true architects of multimodal transport. However, only the associated forwarding FIATA (International Freight Forwarders Association) are authorized to issue FIATA documents. FIATA Freight are a small group among all freight forwarders.
b)
FCR FIATA Documents (Certificate Forwarding Receipt) is the certificate as the forwarder has received the goods in their stores loader to proceed after its transport.
Conducted by the forwarder, he gives it to the charger who, in turn, stays with him or send to the recipient. In any case, whatever its final possession, the FCR can never be negotiated, either by the shipper or the consignee.
FCT (Forwarding Agent cetificated Transport) is the international multimodal transport contract established between the forwarder and the shipper. In his capacity as the contract of carriage, the FCT designated Contracting Parties, the goods to be transported, the transport route and transport prices.
Conducted by the forwarder, he gives it to the shipper, who in turn sends it to the recipient. The FCT can be issued with the clause "to order" (on the order-no more, or order of the recipient) or without the clause "to order" (the carrier-without more-or-nominative indicating the name of the recipient-).
Issued with the clause in order, the FCT is a real title to the goods and, as such, can be negotiated by the possessor.
FBL (Forwarding Agent Bill of Lading) is the international multimodal transport contract established between the forwarder and the shipper, when the main means of transport is the transport by sea. Its operational characteristics match those of the FCT. Delivered to order, can be negotiated by who owns it.
FWR (Forwarding Agent Warrant Receipt) certifies the delivery to the freight of the goods by the shipper, in order that they (the goods) remain deposited in the warehouses of freight. The charger (depositor) delivers its goods to the forwarder (depositary) and the forwarder, in parallel, the charger does get a receipt as the receive to guard them. The FWR, issued the order, can be negotiated by the holder.
TDS (Transport Dangerous Declaration) Declaration made by the freight forwarder in international multimodal transport of dangerous goods. Based on this statement, freight shipper acknowledging receipt of dangerous goods properly stowed for later transport.
This statement (issued by the forwarder and delivered to the charger) frees the exporter from responsibility for what may happen to the goods during transport. In that sense, the freight forwarder assumes all responsibility.
The freight only issue this statement if the goods received from the charger meet all safety requirements of international conventions on the carriage of dangerous goods (IMO-sea-, air-IATA-ADR-land by road-). The SDT can never be negotiated by the holder.
c) Negotiation of FIATA documents
Holders of negotiable FIATA documents (FCT, and FBL FWR issued the order) are able to endorse them (sell them) to third parties or pledged (to get loans, loans or advances, offering them as warranty). In that sense, negotiable FIATA documents, like the B / Ls (bills of lading) are genuine title to the goods. Who owns them, has the goods.
