Special Requirements for Bills of Lading for Major Ports in Central and South America. Pay Attention to Delivery of Goods without Bill of Lading.
It should be noted that some Central and South American countries such as Brazil, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Venezuela, etc., are countries where goods can be released without a bill of lading. In these countries, once the goods are unloaded from the ship onto the dock, the ownership of the goods already belongs to the consignee. The consignee can declare and pick up the goods from the customs without exchanging the D/O from the shipping company. When shipping goods to these countries, the shipper must be reminded in advance that the bill of lading cannot control the ownership of the goods.
