Shipping Guarantees

Benefits and features

In certain situations your goods may arrive in port before the shipping documents have been processed through the banking system. HSBC in mainland China can issue a shipping guarantee, allowing you to take control of the goods from the shipping company without the bill of lading.

A shipping guarantee issued by HSBC is universally accepted by all shipping companies and can offer you the following advantages:

• Enables immediate possession of goods before payment

• Avoids unnecessary delays to the day-to-day running of your business

• Eliminates expensive demurrage/storage charges

• Allows the deferment of payment until your supplier's documents have been presented
