Forwarder’s Certificate of Receipt (FCR)

A Forwarder’s Certificate of Receipt (FCR) is a document issued by a freight forwarder. This document acknowledges receipt of goods for shipment.

FCRs typically detail information such as the shipper’s details, consignee’s details, and a description of the goods. They also contain the date of receipt and the forwarder’s signature. Forwarders issue FCRs to confirm they have taken custody of the shipment.

Examples of typical details found in FCRs include the shipper’s name, consignee’s name, and description of goods. Other examples are the date of receipt and forwarder’s signature.
