Bill of Lading Amendment Cost
BOLCheck: Bill of Lading amendment cost. Free to try on a Bill of Lading, no signup required. Runs on Bill of Lading documents only, with results deleted within 24 hours.
Once the original Bill of Lading has been issued, correcting a field is no longer an edit. It becomes an amendment: a request to the carrier, a reissued set, and a charge that varies by line and by how far the cargo has already travelled.

What an amendment sets in motion
- · A correction request to the carrier, typically charged per document rather than per field
- · A reissued original, which has to reach whoever is holding the first set
- · If the cargo has already sailed, a delay in releasing it at destination
- · If the set has already gone to a bank, a fresh presentation and a fresh deadline
Why the draft is the cheap moment
The draft arrives while the vessel is still loading and while nothing has been presented to anyone. A field fixed then costs nothing at all. The same field fixed a week later can cost a fee, a reissue, and a delay that nobody budgeted for.
What to check on the draft
- · Container numbers, including the check digit
- · Package counts and weights, against each other
- · Dates, in an order that is physically possible
- · Consignee and notify party, written exactly as intended
