A Sea Waybill, on the other hand, is inherently non-negotiable and doesn\u2019t function as a title document.<\/p><h6 data-start=\"5230\" data-end=\"5292\">2. Can I use a Sea Waybill with a letter of credit (L\/C)?<\/h6><p data-start=\"5293\" data-end=\"5427\">Usually not. Most banks require negotiable Bills of Lading under L\/C terms. Sea Waybills are generally not accepted for trade finance.<\/p><h6 data-start=\"5429\" data-end=\"5496\">3. Is a Sea Waybill legally valid for international shipments?<\/h6><p data-start=\"5497\" data-end=\"5602\">Yes.

Who can receive the cargo under a Sea Waybill?<\/h6><p data-start=\"5659\" data-end=\"5769\">Only the consignee listed on the Sea Waybill can take delivery.

Can I convert a Sea Waybill into a Bill of Lading later?<\/h6><p data-start=\"5836\" data-end=\"5965\">No. Once a Sea Waybill is issued, it cannot be converted into a negotiable B\/L.
