The latest shipment date

Shipment date sometimes plays very important role in a transaction. I get this lesson from one of our customer from England.
FOB Business Forum'J0X:o1p/K M&["g4\
He places order with us, and pay 30% deposit. And talk about the Detail of the documents with us. Everything goes well but he cancel the order at last, because he can not accept the shipment date in August. We are very disappointed.

About the word "latest shipment",we usually understand the word "latest" as "late", but now we should change our mind and know the customer want it to be "fast".

How about shipping them before the latest shipment date?

one clause, such as
44C: Latest Date of shipment
070713

means the date on B/L should be earlier than 070713

Yes, if this date is written in the L/C, but you shipped the goods at the end of June, the customer will be very glad for this.
