This is one of the basic but extremely important business points, often confusing for those new to import and export. Misunderstanding or misrepresenting this information can lead to great risks in receiving goods and payment. Let\u2019s distinguish these two concepts on import and export documents with Vietsun Logistics.<h4>1. Who are Buyer and Consignee?<\/h4><p>Although often one, these are essentially two completely different roles:<\/p><p>\ud83d\udc64 BUYER<\/p><p>\u2013 Is the person who signs the sales contract with the seller.<\/p><p>\u2013 As a trading partner, responsible for payment for the shipment.<\/p><p>\ud83d\udce6 CONSIGNEE (Consignee)<\/p><p>\u2013 Is the person whose name is on the bill of lading (B\/L) and has the legal right to receive the goods at the port of destination.<\/p><p>\u2013 This is the logistics partner, which can be the Buyer or a third party designated by the Buyer (trust company, bank, FWD\u2026).<\/p><h4>2. Some common situations<\/h4><p>\ud83d\udd39 Case 1: BUYER = CONSIGNEE (Common)<\/p><p>\u2013 When: When the buyer receives the goods and completes import procedures.<\/p><p>\u2013 For example: Company A in Vietnam buys raw materials from China for production.<\/p><p>\u27a1\ufe0f B\/L will state:<\/p><p>Consignee: [Name of Company A]<\/p><p>(Buyer on Contract &amp; Invoice is also Company A)<\/p><p>\ud83d\udd39 Case 2: BUYER \u2260 CONSIGNEE (3-party transaction \/ Consignment)<\/p><p>\u2013 When: Used in 3-party sales (cross-trade) or when Buyer authorizes a service unit\/intermediary to handle procedures and receive goods.<\/p><p>\u2013 For example: Company XYZ (Buyer) purchases goods but designates company BCD (service provider) to receive the goods.<\/p><p>\u27a1\ufe0f B\/L will state:<\/p><p>Shipper: ABC Co., Ltd (China) (Contract Seller)<\/p><p>Consignee: BCD Company (Company designated to receive goods)<\/p><p>Notify Party: XYZ Company (Buyer on the contract)<\/p><p>\ud83d\udd39 Case 3: CONSIGNEE = \u201cTO ORDER\u201d, this is the most important case to pay attention to<\/p><p>\u2013 When: Usually used in payment by Letter of Credit (L\/C) or when the seller wants to retain control of the goods until payment is received.<\/p><p>\u2013 The bill of lading will state \u201cConsignee: To order\u201d or \u201cConsignee: To order of [Bank Name]\u201d.<\/p><p>\u2013 Meaning: Goods will be delivered according to the order of the bill of lading issuer (usually Shipper) or according to the order of the Bank.<\/p><p>\u27a1\ufe0f Example on B\/L (L\/C payment):<\/p><p>Shipper: ABC Co., Ltd (China)<\/p><p>Consignee: To order of Vietcombank<\/p><p>Notify Party: XYZ Trading Co., Ltd (Vietnam)<\/p><p>\u27a1\ufe0f Explanation:<\/p><p>\u2013 Notify Party (XYZ Trading): The Buyer is the party notified when the goods arrive.<\/p><p>\u2013 Consignee (Vietcombank): The bank holds ownership of the shipment.<\/p><p>\u2013 Process: After Buyer (XYZ) completes payment obligation to the bank, the bank will endorse the bill of lading, transferring ownership of goods to Buyer to receive the goods.<\/p><p>Vietsun Shipping always accompanies you on every journey.<\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000080;\">\ud83d\udcde Hotline: 028 3826 9539 or contact Vietsun customer care staff<\/span><br>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\">\ud83d\udce7 Email: admin@vietsunlogistic.com<\/span><br>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\">\ud83c\udf0d Website:&nbsp;<a style=\"color: #000080;\" href=\"https:\/\/vietsunlogistic.com\/en\/\">www.vietsunlogistic.com<\/a><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><em><strong>Vietsun \u2013 Transport&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>full&nbsp;<\/strong><strong>trust, reach out values<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: #000080;\"><strong>#logisticsxanh #chuyendoisologistics #vantaibenvung #vietsunlogistics #netzero2050 #ESGlogistics #sohoavantai #vantaiduongbienxanh #vantainoidiaxanh<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tr&ecirc;n V&#7853;n &#273;&#417;n (Bill of Lading), t&#7841;i sao m&#7909;c &ldquo;Consignee&rdquo; (Ng&#432;&#7901;i nh&#7853;n h&agrave;ng) &#273;&ocirc;i khi l&#7841;i kh&ocirc;ng ph&#7843;i l&agrave; &ldquo;Buyer&rdquo; (Ng&#432;&#7901;i mua h&agrave;ng)?&nbsp;&#272;&acirc;y l&agrave; m&#7897;t trong nh&#7919;ng &#273;i&#7875;m nghi&#7879;p v&#7909; c&#417; b&#7843;n nh&#432;ng c&#7921;c k&#7923; quan tr&#7885;ng, th&#432;&#7901;ng g&acirc;y nh&#7847;m l&#7851;n cho ng&#432;&#7901;i m&#7899;i l&agrave;m xu&#7845;t nh&#7853;p kh&#7849;u.
