Bill of Lading and Other Transport Documents
Learn why transport wording often becomes the practical heart of the LC.
Bill of lading
A bill of lading is a common sea-transport document.
The credit may require a full set of originals and may state how it must be made out.
Clean on-board wording
A credit may require a clean on-board transport document.
The exact documentary requirements matter.
Charter party bill of lading
A credit may expressly allow a charter party bill of lading.
This is a different transport-document category from a standard bill of lading.
Other transport documents
Depending on the shipment, credits can use multimodal transport documents, sea waybills, air transport documents, road, rail or inland-waterway documents.
Remember thisNever assume 'shipping document' means only one type of document.
