hello,
We are a freight-forwarding company in uae and have shipped a container from china on behalf of our client.
The forwarder in china asked for the freight charges to be transferred first to their account which we did. After receiving the amount in their account they are now asking us for more money approx. US$4300 just to release the Bill of Lading to the supplier in China.
Without the bill of lading, our customer in UAE cannot clear the container from the seaport.
Can anyone let me know which agency in China i have to approach to get this resolved as this is as good as black-mailing.
