Bills of Lading Issues

A Bill of Lading is a legal document used in shipping that serves three main purposes: it acts as a receipt for the goods, as a contract between the shipper and carrier, and as a document of title, meaning it indicates who owns the goods during transport. Issues may arise if the information is incorrect, if the document is lost, or if there are disputes about the condition or ownership of goods. These problems can lead to delays, legal disputes, and financial losses, making it essential for all parties to carefully manage and understand the Bill of Lading.
