How to issue bill of lading and why it is important in exports

If you are starting out as an exporter, you must surely be buried in paperwork. One of the most important documents among them is the bill of lading (BOL). It is a legal document issued by a carrier to the shipper  to move a shipment. The information in a BOL is critical, as it lists details such as type and quantity of goods, details of the consignor (shipper), carrier (transport), consignee (receiver) and the destination. It serves as a contract and a receipt and is legal proof that the carrier has received the freight and is obligated to transport and deliver the goods in proper condition to the receiver or consignee. BOL must be accompanied by the shipped products and signed by authorized representatives of the shipper, carrier and receiver.
