Is the master NVOCC the responsible filing party for all bills of lading in a co-loaded container?
The shipper should be, either “Foreign Vender” or the “Factory”. Although, CBP would like to have the most detailed information on the shipper available, for targeting purposes, CBP will accept either party as the shipper until we can clearly identify the term shipper to the trade. The consignee will not be the “US NVOCC” office, it should be the actual “US Customer”.
