What does the checker verify on a bill of lading discrepancy letter of credit?

Container check digits against ISO 6346, weight and unit consistency, date coherence, Incoterm and port-code sanity, required-field presence and more — 24 checks in total, each reported with the field it applies to.

Is my document stored?

No. The file stays in memory while it is processed and is never written to disk. The result is deleted automatically within 24 hours, and documents are never used to train models.

How much does it cost?

The first 3 documents every month are free. Paid plans start at $19 per month for 50 documents. A one-off Batch Pack covers 5,000 documents.

Bill of Lading Discrepancies Under a Letter of Credit

BOLCheck: Bill of Lading discrepancies under a letter of credit. Free to try on a Bill of Lading, no signup required. Runs on Bill of Lading documents only, with results deleted within 24 hours.

Under a documentary credit the Bill of Lading is examined against the credit's own terms, and a mismatch is a discrepancy the bank can refuse. This page covers the mechanical checks on the B/L itself — it is not a bank's document examination and not a legal opinion.

The B/L points an examiner looks at

· Container numbers complete, including the check digit
· Shipped on board notation, with a date inside the shipment period the credit allows
· Port of loading and port of discharge, as the credit names them
· Consignee or order party, matching what the credit requires
· Number of originals, and how the set is made up
· Goods description that does not conflict with the credit

What this product is not

BOLCheck does not examine documents against your credit terms and does not issue a discrepancy opinion. It reads the Bill of Lading and reports the contradictions inside it — a check digit that does not compute, weights that disagree, dates out of order. Whether a document complies with a credit is a judgement made by your bank.

Why a mechanical check still helps

A portion of presentation discrepancies are arithmetic and date errors that no credit term can excuse. Removing those before the set reaches the bank reduces the surface area an examiner has left to disagree with.

What gets checked

33 Bill of Lading fields are looked for, and 24 rules run over them. Every finding names the field it applies to, so it can be fixed in the source document.
