Bill of Lading Data Extractor
Paste OCR text from a Bill of Lading. The extractor pulls B/L number, vessel, ports, on-board date, containers, seals and party blocks into structured fields you can check against the LC.
All parsing happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. For scanned PDFs, run OCR first (Tesseract, Google Docs, Adobe) and paste the text here.

Overview & methodology
Numerical Example: UCP 600 Art. 20 Date Check
Under UCP 600, if a B/L contains an on-board notation with a date, that date is considered the date of shipment. Here, shipping on the 15th violates a 'latest shipment' of the 14th.
Why the On-Board Date Matters
Under UCP 600 Art. 20 the on-board notation determines the shipment date. If the notation is later than the "latest shipment date" in LC field 44C, the presentation is discrepant. Extract it explicitly and compare against your credit before dispatching documents to the negotiating bank.
Frequently asked questions
Which B/L fields matter for LC compliance?
Shipper, consignee (to order / to order of issuing bank), notify party, vessel/voyage, port of loading, port of discharge, description consistent with the invoice, on-board notation with date, freight prepaid/collect wording, and number of originals. Errors here drive over 30% of first-presentation discrepancies.
