Block 3. Shipping documents. Bill of lading lead-in

  • What do shipping documents include?

  • What functions does Bill of Lading perform?

  • Define documents of title.

  • Have a look at the documents given on pages 617-618; 632-634. Decide what functions each document fulfils. Is there anything specific about each?

Transportation involves a great deal of paperwork, both letter writing and document issuing. Shipping documents include waybills (road bills, air bills, railway bills, Bills of Lading), consignment notes, movement certificates, manifests, mate’s receipts, etc.

Consignment notes are used in road and rail transportation. They are not documents of title. They are not negotiable. They as well as waybills are obtained by the consignor after paying freight charges.

Any waybill confirms that the goods are received for transportation. Such a receipt when goods are carried by sea is called Bill of Lading. But if Air Bills serve only as receipts, Bills of Lading can be transferred both by the consignor (the exporter) and by the consignee (the importer).
