A Bill Of Lading, or B/L, is an essential document for international trade. It's a document that's used to transport goods from one location to another. A bill of lading is the proof of ownership for a product, and it gives the recipient the right to take ownership. However, a bill of lading doesn't contain any details about the contents of a shipment. A bill of lading is only a document of title, which means that it only shows that the product exists and that it's being transported to a specific location. It doesn't show who owns the product, its contents or what the product is.A bill of lading (B/L) is issued by a freight forwarder, which is a company that ships products for others in between locations. The company doesn't actually own the products being transported; it simply handles the transportation. The shipper is responsible for supplying the goods to be transported and for filling out the bill of lading. Once the goods are loaded onto the transportation vehicle, a carrier issues a bill of lading that's used to show ownership of the goods.
