Documentation & Trade Compliance
Accurate trade documentation is as important as the physical survey. MaxSafe helps verify the paperwork behind your cargo movements.
Discrepancies in shipping documentation can be as costly as physical cargo loss. MaxSafe supports cargo owners and freight forwarders in verifying and coordinating the documentation that underpins a shipment.
What this service covers
- Bill of lading verification — confirming bill of lading details align with cargo actually shipped.
- Letter of credit verification — reviewing shipping documentation against letter of credit requirements.
- Freight forwarding coordination — supporting the logistics and documentation side of a shipment.
- Regulatory & risk compliance audits — reviewing shipping operations against applicable regulatory requirements.
Who this is for
Cargo owners, freight forwarders, and importers/exporters who need independent verification of trade documentation alongside — or separate from — a physical cargo survey.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why would I need documentation reviewed separately from a physical survey?
Discrepancies in a bill of lading, letter of credit, or other trade documents can cause payment delays or disputes even when the physical cargo is undamaged. An independent documentation review catches these issues early, whether or not a physical survey is also being carried out.
Can you support letter of credit compliance before a shipment is presented for payment?
Yes. MaxSafe can review shipping documents against letter of credit terms to help identify discrepancies before documents are presented, reducing the risk of delayed or refused payment.
