国际贸易有距离远,交易时间长,交易涉及当事人多的特点。为提高交易效率,交易双方都习惯采用通行的国际惯例,以提单、信用证等国际通用的物权凭证和支付凭证进行货物的交付和资金的流转。因此,在国际贸易中,小小的提单,就成了整船货物的交接凭证,少则百万,多则千万、上亿元的货物就可能凭一份提单而发生转移。因提单而引起的纠纷,值得关注。 International trade has a long way to go, a long time to deal, and many parties involved. In order to improve the efficiency of the transaction, both parties to the transaction are accustomed to adopting common international practice to deliver the goods and transfer the funds with international common real right vouchers and payment vouchers such as bills of lading and letters of credit. Therefore, in international trade, a small bill of lading has become the voucher for the whole cargo. As many as a million, as many as ten million, a hundred million yuan worth of goods may be transferred with a bill of lading. Disputes arising from the bill of lading are worth attention.
