Bill of Lading
A bill of lading is a legal document used in both national and international trade. Bills of lading are issued to the shipper by the carrier as confirmation that the goods have been received and are as described, with the carrier undertaking to deliver it to the consignee in appropriate condition. This document should accompany the shipped goods along their entire freight route, regardless of the transport used.
