What is a Bill of Lading?

A Bill of Lading (BOL) is a legal document issued by a carrier to a shipper acknowledging receipt of cargo for shipment. It serves three purposes: it's a receipt, a contract of carriage, and a document of title.

  • Required for most commercial freight shipments
  • Serves as proof of contract between shipper and carrier
  • Describes the type, quantity, and destination of the goods
  • Can be used to transfer ownership of goods in transit

Always keep a copy of the BOL for your records. When shipping products from your Your Next Store orders, accurate shipping documentation helps ensure smooth delivery and dispute resolution.
