A bill of lading is a document that lists the goods being transported, the destination, the name of the shipper and consignee, and other important information. A bill of lading is used as a receipt of goods, a contract between the shipper and carrier, and a document of title.
In most cases, the shipper (seller) supplies and pays for the BOL, as it acts as a receipt and title to the goods. But if specific arrangements exist between the parties, such as a free on board (FOB) contract, the buyer may be responsible for obtaining and paying for the BOL.
This document must be surrendered to the carrier. As long as the shipper retains the original bills, they may receive payment prior to the release of the originals to the consignee or buyer.
Federal law mandates that a bill of lading include specific key details for compliance. These essential elements include the consignor and consignee names, their respective addresses, and the specifics of the goods, such as quantity, description, and weight/volume.
The carrier or the shipper typically issues the Bill of Lading. In some cases, a third-party logistics provider may prepare the BOL on behalf of the shipper. You should always ensure the BOL is accurately completed and signed by the shipper and the carrier to validate the contract of carriage.
