A bill of lading (BL or BoL) is a legal document issued by a carrier (freight forwarder) to a shipper (the buyer) that details the type, quantity, and destination of the goods being carried. A bill of lading also serves as a shipment receipt when the carrier delivers the goods at the predetermined destination. \n
