High Sea Sale - Invoicing and Inventory

2923 views 2 replies

Dear All,

Please advice.

A Company has its ship carrying material to India after purchase from vendor. Now, A company has executed a High-Sea Sale agreement with B Company before the ship enters the Indian shores.

Queries

1.    On entering into sale agreement, should A company continue showing the purchased material as Inventory? If yes, how to show it as Goods in Transit/ Raw Material or any other form.

2.    Is it not mandatory for A Company to invoice the B Company along with the high sea sale agreement?

3.    How B Company will treat the said dealings? In other words, when B Company will record it as purchase in its book?

1. title of goods is transfered to B co before it enters territorial water of India. hence inventory will be shown in the books of B co ie HSS buyer.

2. there wont be any issue of invoice. bill of lading will be endorsed in the name of B co.

3. i think date of purchase is date of endorsement of bill of lading.

in the books of A Co.
