Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A bill of lading is a document issued by a transport carrier (such as a shipping line or airline) to the exporter as proof of shipment. It contains details of the goods being shipped, the names of the parties involved, the shipping route, and the terms of the transportation agreement. The bill of lading serves as a receipt of the goods, a contract of carriage, and a document of title, enabling the exporter or their agent to claim ownership of the goods and to transfer them to a buyer. The bill of lading is crucial for obtaining payment and for customs clearance.
