What is the "O.C.P" transportation?
OCP is an abbreviation OVERLAND COMMON POINTS is China to the United States signed a trade contract, the terms are often seen in the transport of a word is used to describe the destination of the maritime transport terminology, translated as "land in common."
The so-called "common land" refers to the U.S. west coast with land transport and inland ports in the region relative to China Unicom. United States inland regions, based on the Rocky Mountains as the boundary, that is, except close to the Pacific, nine states outside of the western United States, which are east of the scope of application of OCP areas. OCP of transportation is my goods exported to the United States shipped to ports in the western United States (San Francisco, Seattle) discharge, and then by land transport (mainly rail) east of the inland transportation to the designated location.
OCP transport is a special international modes of transport. Although it by sea, land two kinds of modes of transport to complete, but it is not does not belong to international multimodal transport. International multimodal transport is a carrier for the transport of the whole process from start to finish; while OCP transport, maritime transport, land segment of the document issued by the two carriers, transportation and liability risks is also a section in charge. Therefore, it does not comply with the meaning of international multimodal transport, which is a joint venture of international multi-modal transport. In short, OCP transport is "the single way to perform the contract of carriage for the transfer of goods under the contract business, should not be considered as international multimodal transport." ( "United Nations Convention on International Multimodal Transport")
OCP is a mature international shipping practices. OCP transportation provisions of the United States, any specified through the U.S. West Coast ports of goods transferred to inland areas, if in accordance with the terms of transport, inland areas can enjoy the preferential transport of freight rates, that is, land in common freight rates (OCPRATE), than the local freight rates (LOCAL RATE) about 3% - 5%, will also have direct access to the U.S. East Coast ports than the size t of each of about 3.5 U.S. dollars lower sea freight, inland freight forwarding, port charges, handling fees, which is attached with . Therefore, using OCP transportation, import and export of both sides.
OCP transport only applies to the United States or Canada inland area. Therefore, the final destination of the goods must belong to the OCP area to the signing of trade contracts, the terms should be clearly in the transport, container transport must also clearly yes, OCP mode of transport; must be approved by the U.S. West Coast ports in transit, in order to CFR / CIF U.S. West Coast ports as price terms. For the convenience of a single settlement system, credit must also make corresponding provisions:
"Self-XXX (port of shipment) to XXX (the western United States ports) OCPXXX (inland location)," the English are as follows:
"Shipment from XXX to XXX O. C. P. XXX"
In the OCP transport document must indicate the words OCP. Uninstall Hong Kong and USA to Seattle (Seattle), the final destination is Detroit (Detroit) as an example. The bill of lading in the port of discharge column fill in Seattle OCP, fill in the destination column OCPdetroit, goods, name, marks and goods, the packaging shall also be noted Seattle OCPdetroit, the space between the bill of lading have to give him a shot OCPdetroit, so that loading and unloading, Recognition in transit.
Transported using OCP, even if the final destination of the goods distributed in the United States inland areas in several places, as long as all the names of commodities tied in a bill of lading, and in the final destination indicated OCP land at a common point, the carrier will be combined with loading and unloading, warehouse rental, port and inland transport maritime sector, including arrangements for inland cargo transfer operations, the consignee at designated delivery destination, which greatly facilitates receipt.
In the actual letter of credit business, and some clear OCP letter of credit terms requiring the bill of lading indicate OCPXXX, but in some years permit did not clearly spelled out and the bill of lading often marked OCPXXX, negotiating bank does not would be inconsistent with the document and refused to pay.
In short, a full and accurate understanding of the OCP, both for importers and exporters to expand trade, or reasonable arrangements for the transport carrier is not useful.
