在国际货代和国际贸易中，倒签提单比较常见，尤其是L/C信用证成交时。

“倒签”的英文为anti-dated。如：倒签提单：Anti-Dated Bill of Lading，倒签保单：Anti-Dated Policy。

倒签提单是指承运人（Carrier）应托运人（Shipper）的要求，在货物装船后（Shipped on Board），所签发的“提单签发日期”早于“实际装船完毕日期”的提单。为什么要倒签提单？在实际中，往往是由于实际装船日期，超过了信用证（L/C）规定的最后装运期限。为了与信用证的规定相符，顺利结汇，而不得不采取倒签提单的方式。If the actual loading date is slightly later than the shipment date stipulated in the L/C, the carrier, sometimes, at the request of the shipper, will issue an anti-dated B/L so as to meet the requirements of the L/C. If the date shown on the B/L is later than the L/C stipulations, the bank will not accept such a bill of lading for negotiation, payment or acceptance. If the buyer finds this, he may refuse the goods or lodge a claim against the carrier or the seller.

例如：实际装船日期为11月16日，但是信用证规定的最迟装运期限为11月14日。这时候发货人往往会要求货代或承运人把提单上的装船日期显示为11月14日，否则的话，提单显示的装船日期和信用证的规定不符，产生不符点，影响收汇。

以下为相关双语示例：

而倒签提单就是承运人在货物装船完毕后，在提单上记载的装船日期早于实际装船完毕日期的行为。

The Anti-dated bill of landing is issued after goods have been loaded on board but marked a date earlier than the actual date of loading.

倒签提单能否适用信用证欺诈例外原则以及如何适用的问题说到底就是如何找到保障信用证的顺畅周转与防止信用证欺诈之间的平衡点。

The application of the fraud rule on the anti-dated B/L cases in the question of how to find the balance to keep the smooth running of L/C meanwhile to hold up fraud in L/C.
