Understanding Through Bill of Lading

Among the different kinds of bills of lading is the through bill of lading. In international trade, a bill of lading is a contract between a shipper and a transporter. The document serves as both a receipt and contract. The cargo receipt verifies that the freight was received as described. A carriage contract stipulates that the cargo must be delivered to the consignee in good condition -- it documents the terms of delivery. Lading is derived from loading, which is loading goods onto a ship.
