The term "advice of shipment" refers to a document or notification provided to the consignee or relevant parties involved in a supply chain to inform them about the shipment of goods. It typically includes important details such as the description of the goods, their quantity, packaging, origin, destination, and any specific instructions related to the shipment. The advice of shipment serves as a communication tool, ensuring all stakeholders are aware of the upcoming delivery and can make necessary preparations for receiving or handling the goods.
