Waybill

A waybill is a document used in freight and logistics that details the shipment’s contents, origin, destination, and recipient. It serves as a receipt for the sender, proof of shipment, and instructions for the carrier. Unlike a bill of lading, a waybill typically does not transfer ownership but provides essential information to ensure the goods are delivered correctly. Think of it as a detailed parcel label plus a record for tracking and verification purposes throughout the transportation process.
