Information

Bill of lading





















A bill of lading (sometimes abbreviated as B/L or BoL) is a document issued by a carrier (or their agent) to acknowledge receipt of cargo for shipment

Bills of lading are one of three crucial documents used in international trade to ensure that exporters receive payment and importers receive the merchandise.The other two documents are a policy of insurance and an invoice.

A bill of lading must be transferable,[4][5] and serves three main functions:

  • it is a conclusive receipt,i.e. an acknowledgement that the goods have been loaded; and
  • it contains or evidences the terms of the contract of carriage; and
  • it serves as a document of title to the goods
