An original bill of lading (OBL) is a contract of carriage that serves as a title of the cargo and confirms the carrier's receipt of the cargo.

Typically three bills are issuedone for the shipper, one for the consignee, and one for the banker, broker, or third party.Because the bill of lading is a document of title, it is valuable.

SID# The shipment ID number applied by the shipper to this shipment. FOB. Indicates the FOB freight term used for the shipment.

A Bill of Lading can be amended before or after the booking confirmation is made with the logistics service provider. The key area that stops agents from amending the bill of lading is when the shipping manifest as been prepared, or a letter of credit clearly states that the bill of lading has to be clean.

Names and addresses of both the shipper and recipient (often referred to in the document as the consignee) Scheduled pickup and dropoff dates. Purchase order numbers. The freight's size, weight, and dimensions. Signature lines for all parties (shipper, carrier, receiver)

When the BOL for a shipment is marked as collect, and Section 7 is signed by the shipper that signifies that if the consignee does not pay the freight charges, the carrier cannot go back to the shipper for payment. Therefore, the carrier can hold the freight until payment from the consignee is received.

A bill of lading must be transferable, and serves three main functions: it is a conclusive receipt, i.e. an acknowledgement that the goods have been loaded; and. it contains or evidences the terms of the contract of carriage; and. it serves as a document of title to the goods, subject to the nemo dat rule.
