POD Release Instruction / Express Release / Telex Release 

All release instructions for the BL must be declared on the Shipping Instructions sent through myMSC or INTTRA. This is mandatory information to be included.

If the release instruction is at POL, please do not forget to inform if the documents should be freighted or not. If the document’s collection will be in Santiago or another agency. If this information is not included in the Shipping Instructions, the BLs will be printed by default at  Santiago, and to amend the place of release a fee will be charged. The BLs set consist of 3 OBLs and 6 non-negotiable copies. You will need to  inform us if you need them freighted or un-freighted. 

POD release
3/3 BLs printed at port of discharge. This instruction is not accepted by all countries and a fee might apply. This will be charged by the POD agency and should be paid by the consignee before the BL is collected.

If the client doesn´t have credit, freight must be paid before the release instructions are sent. 

Express Release (Sea Waybill)
Cargo release without original BL.

This instruction is declared in the manifest and transmitted automatically to the POD to all clients with credit. 

If the client doesn´t have credit, freight must be paid before the release instructions are sent. 

Telex Release
Release without original BL. This instruction applies when originals are already printed.. 

Freight must be paid, and BLs returned to MSC. This instruction has a fee associated which will be invoiced in local currency. 

Please consider the following differences:

1. Telex Release for “Nominative” BLs
3/3 BLs and Letter Telex Release Request must be delivered to MSC.
BLs must be signed and stamped by the shipper on the back. Once this is done and the local charges are paid, Telex Release will be sent.

2. Telex release “To Order” BLs
Follow the same steps as per Nominative BLs. The BLs should be endorsed but clearly showing the address, contact, phone, and the name of the client to whom the cargo has to be released. If the client forgot to endorse the BLs, you can use a LOI for non-endorsed OBLs. This must be duly signed by the shipper.

Manifest real data to Canada Customs 

For all the cargo to Canada, real shipper and consignee details must be detailed in the manifest as per Canada Customs’ requirements. 

For NVOCC, the code must be declared on your Shipping Instructions, for it to be included  in our system and inform Customs.

If you are not allowed to transmit directly to Canada Customs (not NVOCC), you will need to  declare this, in addition to the details manifested on the master BL - the real details of the shipper and consignee.
If you do not follow this procedure, your cargo could risk remaining on hold at the transshipment port until the correct transmission is done.

Please note that in case you receive a message reading: “Do not Load” for your shipment, the cargo will be automatically fined USD 60/container, in addition to all the associated costs should a Manifest Corrector must be processed.

BLs to Order – Shipments to USA and Canada 

The USA and Canada Customs regulation allows to manifest endorsed BLs complying with the following requirements:

Consignee must read “TO ORDER OF (ANY COMPANY)” and the expression “TO ORDER” is not allowed  in Spanish either (A la orden de...)

The following are the alternatives that can be used:

- To order of
- To order of Shipper
- To order of the Shipper
- To the order of
- To the order of shipper

In case of:

To Order of Company: Consignee complete details must be included.
To Order of a Bank: All the bank details, including contact person and address, must be declared.

The Notify must be the real receiver with a USA address.

For cargo in transit through USA and Canada the same instructions apply, but the notify party can be located in a third country. A second notify party can be manifested.


BL or containers cancellation by Shipper request 

Once the manifest has been transmitted, any cancellation or modification for BL or containers should be done through a Manifest Corrector (EMC). This is because cargo must be manifested to POD Customs before the estimate arrival date of the vessel.

Associated costs:

• Cancellation for containers with POD Mexico / USA - Puerto Rico / Canada / Japan = SMA Charge + Local Corrector in CLP

• Roll over for BLs/Containers with POD Mexico / USA - Puerto Rico / Canada / Japan = SMA Charge + Local corrector in CLP + costs at port (if any)

• Cancellation for BL (Shipper Request) = Local Corrector in CLP, no SMA associated

• Cancellation for BLs or containers to other destinations = Local Corrector in CLP

• Roll over for BLs or containers to other destinations = Local Corrector in CLP + costs at port (if any).

Letter to release BLs

If you need to withdraw Original BLs, you must provide a letter signed and stamped with the logo of your company for the BLs to be released properly.

- To release Export BL, a letter must be provided, signed, and stamped with the logo of the shipper.

- When the shipment is in the name of a natural person, the letter must be provided without the logo, but attaching the ID or passport photocopies on both sides.

FFWW letters, booking client, invoice company, custom agencies , and other that is not the shipper or consignee on the BL will not be accepted.  For exceptions please contact the documentation department  for assistance .
