consignee to order and notify as per instruction of buyers
explanation


Explanation:
consignee to ORDER - in this case sender of the goods (consignor) gives information about the consignee separately, not in the body of the B/l (it may be written on the reverse side of the B/l for example)
Notify (Notify PArty)- appointed by the buyer (consignee) in a special instruction too.
This is an instruction how to issue the B/l.

It means that section \"Consignee\" shall contain words \"TO ORDER\"
and section \"Notify Party\" - \"AS PER INSTRUCTION OF BUYERS\"
These are phrases commonly used in shipping documents.
