Forwarding Instruction Template
What is a Forwarding Instruction used for?
A Forwarding Instruction is commonly used by Trading companies in lieu of a Shipping Instructions document when dealing directly with the carrier/shipping line to provide details of the parties involved, the cargo, and its transportation requirements. In order to mask the identity of the original supplier from the buyer in trading scenarios, traders will use this document to instruct the carrier to switch the details of the original seller (shipper) over to their trading company’s details on the final Bill of Lading, therefore keeping the original supplier hidden from buyers.
