Professional Document Management for Trade Security and Confidentiality
In international trade, protecting supplier confidentiality and professionally managing shipping documents are of paramount importance.
HNimbus offers specialized Bill of Lading switch services that enable importers, exporters, and trade intermediaries to legally and efficiently alter transport documents without revealing the identity of the original seller.
What is a Bill of Lading Switch?
A Bill of Lading (B/L) switch is a process in which the original B/L issued by the shipping line—after cargo loading is replaced by a new version with altered details, such as the shipper, consignee, or even the destination.
This service is especially useful in triangular trades or sourcing via intermediaries.
