Shipping Terms Glossary: Telex Release

Common Shipping Terms: Telex Release

A telex release typically happens for the release of cargo when the OBL has been surrendered elsewhere. It’s typically an email and stamped ‘Telex’ on the HBL. This type of release tells the origin and destination forwarders that the cargo can be released to the consignee without the original HBL being presented.
