I’m the shipper for an LCL shipment under FCA terms, and I understand the seller/shipper should still handle export declaration/export clearance.

The forwarder is consolidating the cargo and has issued a draft BL, but the shipper name on the BL is shown as the forwarder/consolidator instead of my company.

Is this normal for LCL because it is a Master BL, or should I be asking for a House BL showing my company as shipper? Also, how should export declaration be arranged if the BL shipper is the forwarder?

Did something go wrong here, or is this just standard LCL consolidation practice?
