裝船通知也叫裝運通知，主要指的是出口商在貨物裝船后發(fā)給進口方的包括貨物詳細(xì)裝運情況的通知，其目的在于讓進口商做好籌措資金、付款和接貨的準(zhǔn)備，如成交條件為 FOB / FCA 、 CFR / CPT 等還需要向進口國保險公司發(fā)出該通知以便其為進口商辦理貨物保險手續(xù)，出口裝船通知應(yīng)按合同或 信用證 規(guī)定的時間發(fā)出，該通知副本(copy of telex/fax)常作為向銀行交單議付的單據(jù)之一;在進口方派船接貨的交易條件下，進口商為了使船、貨銜接得當(dāng)也會向出口方發(fā)出有關(guān)通知;通知以英文制作，無統(tǒng)一格式，內(nèi)容一定要符合 信用證 的規(guī)定，一般只提供一份。

　　一、裝船通知的主要內(nèi)容及其繕制

　　1.單據(jù)名稱。主要體現(xiàn)為：Shipping/Shipment Advice, Advice of shipment等，也有人將其稱為shipping statement/declaration，如 信用證 有具體要求，從其規(guī)定。

　　2.通知對象。應(yīng)按信用證規(guī)定，具體講可以是開證申請人、申請人的指定人或保險公司等。

　　3.通知內(nèi)容。主要包括所發(fā)運貨物的合同號或信用證號、品名、數(shù)量、金額、運輸工具名稱、開航日期、啟運地和目的地、提運單號碼、運輸標(biāo)志等，并且與其它相關(guān)單據(jù)保持一致，如信用證提出具體項目要求，應(yīng)嚴(yán)格按規(guī)定出單。此外通知中還可能出現(xiàn)包裝說明、ETD(船舶預(yù)離港時間)、ETA(船舶預(yù)抵港時間)、ETC(預(yù)計開始裝船時間)等內(nèi)容。

　　4.制作和發(fā)出日期。日期不能超過信用證約定的時間，常見的有以小時為準(zhǔn)(Within 24/48 hours)和以天(within 2 days after shipment date)為準(zhǔn)兩種情形，信用證沒有規(guī)定時應(yīng)在裝船后立即發(fā)出，如信用證規(guī)定“Immediately after shipment”(裝船后立即通知)，應(yīng)掌握在提單后三天之內(nèi)。

　　5.簽署。一般可以不簽署，如信用證要求“certified copy of shipping advice”，通常加蓋受益人條形章。

　　二、繕制裝船通知應(yīng)注意的事項

　　1. CFR / CPT 交易條件下拍發(fā)裝運通知的必要性。因貨物運輸和保險分別由不同的當(dāng)事人操作，所以受益人有義務(wù)向申請人對貨物裝運情況給予及時、充分的通知，以便進口商保險，否則如漏發(fā)通知，則貨物越過船舷后的風(fēng)險仍由受益人承擔(dān)。

　　2. 通知應(yīng)按規(guī)定的方式、時間、內(nèi)容、份數(shù)發(fā)出。

　　3. 幾個近似概念的區(qū)別。shipping advice(裝運通知)是由出口商(受益人)發(fā)給進口商(申請人)的;shipping instructions 意思是“裝運須知”，一般是進口商發(fā)給出口商的;shipping note/ bill指裝貨通知單/船貨清單;shipping order簡稱S/O，含義是裝貨單/關(guān)單/下貨紙(是 海關(guān) 放行和命令船方將單據(jù)上載明的貨物裝船的文件)。
