Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The bill of lading is a transport document that serves as a receipt of goods shipped, a contract of carriage, and a document of title. It is issued by the carrier (shipping company, freight forwarder, or other transportation provider) to the shipper (exporter) and serves as a proof of shipment and evidence of the terms and conditions of the contract of carriage. It is not a product guarantee issued by the exporter to the importer.
