Bill of Lading (B/L)
A Bill of Lading (B/L) is a document of sea carriage that confirms receipt of the cargo, serves as the contract of carriage and acts as a document of title (the goods are collected against it at the port of destination).
A bill of lading may be a straight, an order or a bearer bill, and it may also take the form of a telex release. Its data is used in customs clearance of sea shipments and must match the invoice.
We support the clearance of sea cargo and handling of the bill of lading.
