• Full name and address (including postal code) of notify party where goods are carried under a negotiable “to order” B/L

Besides the mandatory data elements, we kindly request customers to provide us with their EORI number in writing upon receipt from EU authorities. For more details about the EORI number, please click for the customer advisory posted on OOCL.COM.
