short-form bill of lading

Read a random definition: donatio velata

A quick definition of short-form bill of lading:

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, such as negotiable and non-negotiable bills, clean and unclean bills, and short-form and long-form bills. A short-form bill of lading does not contain all the details of the transportation contract but refers to another document that does. A clean bill of lading has no notes or clauses, while an unclean bill shows that the goods were damaged or missing. A through bill of lading covers the transportation of goods by multiple carriers.

A more thorough explanation:

A short-form bill of lading is 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 is similar to a regular bill of lading, which is a document that indicates the receipt of goods for shipment and is issued by a person engaged in the business of transporting or forwarding goods.

For example, if a company ships a container of goods to another country, they will receive a bill of lading from the carrier. This document will include information about the goods being shipped, the destination, and the terms of the transportation contract.

The short-form bill of lading does not contain all the terms of the transportation contract, but incorporates them by reference to another document, usually one at the office of the carrier. This means that the carrier can refer to the full contract without having to include all the details in the short-form bill of lading.

Overall, the short-form bill of lading is a useful document for carriers and shippers to keep track of goods being transported and the terms of the transportation contract.
