The IMB NVOCC Register
Reducing bills of lading risks
While there may be valid trading reasons that give rise to bill of lading difficulties, there is an unhealthy under-belly of criminal activity.
TT Talk canvassed some trading issues relating to bills of lading in the December 2018 edition. Reference within those articles was made to the English law position articulated in Motis Exports case1, explaining the risk exposure to bill of lading issuers and stakeholders relying on the documentation. This article applies to the industry vulnerability to fraudulent activity.
Banking scrutiny
The International Chamber of Commerce’s Commercial Crime Services division has a primary function of protect the integrity of international trade by seeking out fraud and malpractice and providing reports based on this activitiy to its members.
Even the all-powerful Pointing has no control about the blind texts it is an almost unorthographic life One day however a small line of blind text by the name of Lorem Ipsum decided to leave for the far World of Grammar. The Big Oxmox advised her not to do so, because there were thousands of bad Commas, wild Question Marks and devious Semikoli.
Commercial banks commence thousands of investigations each year in relation to fraudulent bills of lading which are undertaken by the International Maritime Bureau (IMB), a division of CCS. Through the investigation process, IMB conducts due diligence on all trade documents, including bills of lading, and seeks independent third-party verification to provide an extra level of confidence in transactions. This supports banks in relation to their compliance procedures to prevent fraud, money laundering and sanctions breaches.
Suspect bills of lading are those which have false content including the wrong ship, dates, description of cargoes, container numbers or parties. Perpetrators present such bills of lading to banks to facilitate fraudulent activity including money laundering, fraud, illegal capital flight and to by-pass sanctions.
It is recognised that NVOCCs and freight forwarders play a vital role in international trade and whilst the majority operate to extremely high standards, there are inevitably those who for a variety of reasons may deliberately or recklessly issue bills of lading with false content. It is important that safeguards are in place to ensure the security of bills of lading and that there are systems in place to track any misuse.
As a result of recent trends involving bill of lading fraud and a growing concern of their stakeholders, the IMB developed a new initiative, unveiled at Enterprise, Singapore on 15 January 2019, during a panel discussion on the manipulation of bills of lading attended by over 100 delegates from banks, logistics companies and lawyers. The primary objective is to provide a common open platform from which to improve anti-fraud standards and to give due recognition to participating NVOCCs who adhere to the minimum standards established within the platform.
NVOCC vulnerability
"IMB estimates that over 95% of all improperly issued bills of lading are issued by NVOCCs."
From this work, IMB estimates that over 95% of all improperly issued bills of lading are issued by NVOCCs. This is a staggering finding, albeit relating to a small percentage of the total transactions, but a clear indicator of the vulnerability of some elements of the NVOCC sector.
Announcing IMB NVOCC register
“Maintaining the integrity of the bill of lading is of paramount importance to all stakeholders in global trade”
TT Club believes that this initiative to improve standards and reduce potential exposures to fraudulent activity through the supply chain is beneficial to the industry and would therefore encourage its NVOCC membership to evaluate the platform and consider participation in it.

The initiative introduces an open source NVOCC register in conjunction with a new IMB Code of Conduct which all participating NVOCCs are required to adopt. The Code of Conduct is supported by an online training course which sets out minimum standards for the issuance of NVOCC bills of lading. Participating NVOCCs remain accountable where a document they have issued is found to be fraudulent, however it is anticipated that a wider knowledge of good practice will result in fewer cases of fraud being identified.
Maintaining the integrity of the bill of lading is of paramount importance to all stakeholders in global trade. Where fraudulent activity is allowed to continue, there is a real danger that key stakeholders de-value the worth of the bill of lading. Inevitably, should the industry not be able to address commercially the challenge presented by the use of fraudulent documents, there is a risk that regulations may be required. This initiative recognises and seeks to address this industry wide challenge, seeking to promote awareness and support compliance with acceptable trade practices.

Detox para examen de miccion se ha convertido en una opcion cada vez mas popular entre personas que necesitan eliminar toxinas del cuerpo y superar pruebas de analisis de drogas. Estos suplementos estan disenados para ayudar a los consumidores a depurar su cuerpo de residuos no deseadas, especialmente aquellas relacionadas con el ingesta de cannabis u otras sustancias.
El buen detox para examen de pipi debe brindar resultados rapidos y confiables, en gran cuando el tiempo para desintoxicarse es limitado. En el mercado actual, hay muchas variedades, pero no todas aseguran un proceso seguro o efectivo.
De que funciona un producto detox? En terminos basicos, estos suplementos actuan acelerando la eliminacion de metabolitos y toxinas a traves de la orina, reduciendo su nivel hasta quedar por debajo del limite de deteccion de los tests. Algunos trabajan en cuestion de horas y su accion puede durar entre 4 a seis horas.
Resulta fundamental combinar estos productos con adecuada hidratacion. Beber al menos 2 litros de agua por jornada antes y despues del uso del detox puede mejorar los beneficios. Ademas, se sugiere evitar alimentos grasos y bebidas procesadas durante el proceso de desintoxicacion.
Los mejores productos de detox para orina incluyen ingredientes como extractos de hierbas, vitaminas del complejo B y minerales que apoyan el funcionamiento de los organos y la funcion hepatica. Entre las marcas mas vendidas, se encuentran aquellas que ofrecen certificaciones sanitarias y estudios de prueba.
Para usuarios frecuentes de marihuana, se recomienda usar detoxes con margenes de accion largas o iniciar una preparacion previa. Mientras mas larga sea la abstinencia, mayor sera la eficacia del producto. Por eso, combinar la disciplina con el uso correcto del suplemento es clave.
Un error comun es suponer que todos los detox actuan igual. Existen diferencias en formulacion, sabor, metodo de ingesta y duracion del efecto. Algunos vienen en presentacion liquido, otros en capsulas, y varios combinan ambos.
Ademas, hay productos que incluyen fases de preparacion o purga previa al dia del examen. Estos programas suelen recomendar abstinencia, buena alimentacion y descanso previo.
Por ultimo, es importante recalcar que todo detox garantiza 100% de exito. Siempre hay variables personales como metabolismo, historial de consumo, y tipo de examen. Por ello, es vital seguir las instrucciones del fabricante y no relajarse.
