Bill of Lading

A Bill of Lading (BOL) is a legal document issued by a carrier or shipping company to acknowledge receipt of goods for shipment and outline the terms and conditions of the transportation contract. A BOL serves as a receipt for the goods, evidence of the carrier’s responsibility for safe delivery, and a title document that can be transferred to transfer ownership of the goods. Bill of Lading documents are essential for international trade, logistics, and cargo transportation.
