裝船通知也叫裝運(yùn)通知，主要指的是出口商在貨物裝船后發(fā)給進(jìn)口方的包括貨物詳細(xì)裝運(yùn)情況的通知，其目的在于讓進(jìn)口商做好籌措資金、付款和接貨的準(zhǔn)備，如成交條件為FOB/FCA、CFR/CPT等還需要向進(jìn)口國保險(xiǎn)公司發(fā)出該通知以便其為進(jìn)口商辦理貨物保險(xiǎn)手續(xù)，出口裝船通知應(yīng)按合同或信用證規(guī)定的時(shí)間發(fā)出，該通知副本（copy of telex/fax）常作為向銀行交單議付的單據(jù)之一；在進(jìn)口方派船接貨的交易條件下，進(jìn)口商為了使船、貨銜接得當(dāng)也會(huì)向出口方發(fā)出有關(guān)通知；通知以英文制作，無統(tǒng)一格式，內(nèi)容一定要符合信用證的規(guī)定，一般只提供一份。
　　一、裝船通知的主要內(nèi)容及其繕制
　　1.單據(jù)名稱。主要體現(xiàn)為：Shipping/Shipment Advice, Advice of shipment等，也有人將其稱為shipping statement/declaration，如信用證有具體要求，從其規(guī)定。
　　2.通知對象。應(yīng)按信用證規(guī)定，具體講可以是開證申請人、申請人的指定人或保險(xiǎn)公司等。
　　3.通知內(nèi)容。主要包括所發(fā)運(yùn)貨物的合同號(hào)或信用證號(hào)、品名、數(shù)量、金額、運(yùn)輸工具名稱、開航日期、啟運(yùn)地和目的地、提運(yùn)單號(hào)碼、運(yùn)輸標(biāo)志等，并且與其它相關(guān)單據(jù)保持一致，如信用證提出具體項(xiàng)目要求，應(yīng)嚴(yán)格按規(guī)定出單。此外通知中還可能出現(xiàn)包裝說明、ETD（船舶預(yù)離港時(shí)間）、ETA（船舶預(yù)抵港時(shí)間）、ETC（預(yù)計(jì)開始裝船時(shí)間）等內(nèi)容。
　　4.制作和發(fā)出日期。日期不能超過信用證約定的時(shí)間，常見的有以小時(shí)為準(zhǔn)（Within 24/48 hours）和以天（within 2 days after shipment date）為準(zhǔn)兩種情形，信用證沒有規(guī)定時(shí)應(yīng)在裝船后立即發(fā)出，如信用證規(guī)定“Immediately after shipment”（裝船后立即通知），應(yīng)掌握在提單后三天之內(nèi)。
　　5.簽署。一般可以不簽署，如信用證要求“certified copy of shipping advice”，通常加蓋受益人條形章。
　　二、繕制裝船通知應(yīng)注意的事項(xiàng)
　　1. CFR/CPT交易條件下拍發(fā)裝運(yùn)通知的必要性。因貨物運(yùn)輸和保險(xiǎn)分別由不同的當(dāng)事人操作，所以受益人有義務(wù)向申請人對貨物裝運(yùn)情況給予及時(shí)、充分的通知，以便進(jìn)口商保險(xiǎn)，否則如漏發(fā)通知，則貨物越過船舷后的風(fēng)險(xiǎn)仍由受益人承擔(dān)。
　　2. 通知應(yīng)按規(guī)定的方式、時(shí)間、內(nèi)容、份數(shù)發(fā)出。
　　3. 幾個(gè)近似概念的區(qū)別。shipping advice（裝運(yùn)通知）是由出口商（受益人）發(fā)給進(jìn)口商（申請人）的；shipping instructions 意思是“裝運(yùn)須知”，一般是進(jìn)口商發(fā)給出口商的；shipping note/ bill指裝貨通知單/船貨清單；shipping order簡稱S/O，含義是裝貨單/關(guān)單/下貨紙（是海關(guān)放行和命令船方將單據(jù)上載明的貨物裝船的文件）。
　　三、信用證中有關(guān)裝船通知條款分析
　　1. ORIGINAL FAX FROM BENEFICIARY TO OUR APPLICANT EVIDENCING B/L NO.，NAME OF SHIP，SHIPMENT DATE，QUANTITY AND VALUE OF GOODS.其要求應(yīng)向申請人提交正本通知一份，通知上列明提單號(hào)、船名、裝運(yùn)日期、貨物的數(shù)量和金額。制作單據(jù)時(shí)只要按所列項(xiàng)目操作即可。

　　4. BENEFICIARY MUST FAX ADVISE TO THE APPLICANT FOR THE PARTICULARS BEFORE SHIPMENT EFFECTED AND A COPY OF THE ADVICE SHOULD BE PRESENTED FOR NEGOTIATION. 根據(jù)這條規(guī)定，受益人發(fā)出的裝運(yùn)通知的方式是傳真，發(fā)出時(shí)間是在貨物裝運(yùn)前，傳真副本做為議付單據(jù)提交。
　　5. INSURANCE COVERED BY OPENERS. ALL SHIPMENTS UNDER THIS CREDIT MUST BE ADVISED BY YOU IMMEDIATELY AFTER SHIPMENT DIRECT TO M/S ABC INSURANCE CO.
