Definition of Bill of Lading • The Bill of Lading is a crucial document used in the transportation of goods by sea, air, or land. • It serves as both a receipt and a contract between the shipper (exporter) and the carrier (logistics provider). • This document acknowledges the receipt of goods for shipment and outlines the terms and conditions of transportation.

The Purpose of Bill of Lading Evidence of Contract: The Bill of Lading acts as legal evidence of the contract between the shipper and the carrier, detailing the agreed-upon terms of transportation.

It is commonly used when payment has been made in advance. Order Bill of Lading: This is negotiable and allows the consignee to transfer the ownership of goods to another party by endorsing the document. It is often used for shipments that involve letter of credit or other financing arrangements. Seaway Bill: A seaway bill functions like a straight B/L but is usually electronic. It doesn't require a physical document to claim the goods, offering more efficiency for modern logistics. Through Bill of Lading: This B/L covers multiple modes of transportation (e.g., sea, rail, and truck) within a single shipment, simplifying complex logistics operations.
