A bill of lading is a document that serves as evidence of a contract of carriage, receipt of goods, and a document of title to the goods being shipped. It is prepared by the carrier or its agent and outlines the details of the shipment, including the consignor, consignee, type of goods, and transportation details. It is typically required before the goods can be shipped and is given to the consignor as proof of shipment.
