| 单词 | Leading mark |
| 释义 | 主要標誌 A mark used to identify goods comprising cargo. Leading marks are documented on the bill of lading. Under the Hague-Visby Rules 1979, which have been given force of law in Hong Kong under the Bills of Lading and Analogous Shipping Documents Ordinance (Cap 440) s 8, the shipper is entitled to demand the bill of lading showing the leading marks from the carrier. The carrier may refuse to supply the bill of leading unless such marks are stamped or otherwise shown clearly on the goods, or where the carrier has reasonable grounds for suspecting that the leading marks do not accurately represent the goods actually received, or where the carrier has no means of checking the leading marks: Hague-Visby Rules art 3(3). Leading marks noted on the bill of lading are prima facie proof of receipt by the carrier of the goods described: Parsons v New Zealand Shipping Co [1901] 1 KB 548 (CA). Marks that are not material to the identity of the goods or indicate nothing whatever to a buyer as to the nature, quality or quantity of the goods he is buying are not regarded as leading marks: Parsons v New Zealand Shipping Co, supra. See also Bill of lading; Charterer; Goods. 用來辨認組成船貨貨品的標誌。主要標誌在提單上有文件紀錄。根據由《提單及相類裝運單據條例》（第440章）第8條給予法律效力的1979年《海牙 ─ 維斯比規則》，船主有權要求在提單上顯示承運人所提供的主要標誌。除非貨物壓印有或以其他方法清楚顯示出主要標誌，或如承運人有合理理由懷疑主要標誌並不準確地代表實際上所收的貨物，或如承運人不可能作出查證者，承運人有權拒絕提供要求的提單：《海牙 ─ 維斯比規則》第3(3)條。提單上的主要標誌是承運人已收到提單所描述貨物的表面證明：Parsons v New Zealand Shipping Co [1901] 1 KB 548（英國上訴法院）。與辨認貨物不具關鍵性的標誌，或並不就買家所購的貨物之性質、質量或數量向買家作出顯示的標誌並不被視為主要標誌：Parsons v New Zealand Shipping Co, 見上文。另見 Bill of lading; Charterer; Goods。 |
