What is a bill of lading?

A bill of lading is a legal document issued by the carrier or freight forwarder — it's the contract of carriage and, for negotiable versions, the document of title. Carriers require one to move any freight, and its package count and weight should trace back to the packing list rather than be re-estimated.

See bill of lading vs packing list for the full breakdown of straight, order and bearer bills of lading, and how the two documents work together.

This free generator produces a ready-to-send PDF in under a minute. Need a commercial invoice, packing list or certificate of origin too? The full SmallForwarder tool generates all four documents from a single shipment form.
