A quick definition of lading, bill of:

A bill of lading is a document that shows that goods have been received by a carrier or shipper's agent for transportation. It is like a contract between the shipper and the carrier. There are different types of bills of lading, including negotiable and non-negotiable ones. A clean bill of lading means that there are no issues with the goods, while an unclean bill of lading shows that there were problems with the goods during shipment. A through bill of lading means that the carrier will transport the goods to the final destination, even if they have to use another carrier for part of the journey.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A document that acknowledges the receipt of goods by a carrier or shipper's agent and the contract for the transportation of those goods. It indicates the receipt of goods for shipment and is issued by a person engaged in the business of transporting or forwarding goods. A bill of lading is a document of title, and a negotiable bill of lading authorizes the carrier or holder of freight to deliver it to the bearer.

Examples:

  • B/L: Abbreviation for Bill of Lading.
  • Bearer Bill of Lading: A negotiable bill of lading that authorizes the carrier or holder of freight to deliver it to the bearer.
  • Clean Bill of Lading: A bill of lading containing no clause or notation qualifying the bill's terms.
  • Nonnegotiable Bill of Lading: A straight bill of lading that specifies a consignee to whom the carrier is contractually obligated to deliver the goods.
  • Through Bill of Lading: A bill of lading by which a carrier agrees to transport goods to a designated destination, even though the carrier will have to use a connecting carrier for part of the passage.

The examples illustrate different types of bills of lading and their characteristics. For instance, a bearer bill of lading is negotiable and can be transferred to another person, while a clean bill of lading has no qualifications or clauses. A through bill of lading involves multiple carriers to transport goods to a final destination.
