What information should be on a bill of lading?
A bill of lading is a commercially available document issued by a carrier to a shipper, signed by the captain, agent, or owner of a vessel, furnishing written evidence regarding receipt of the goods, the conditions on which transportation is made (contract of carriage), and the engagement to deliver goods at the prescribed port of destination to the lawful holder of the bill of lading. CBP regulates cargo declaration (CBP Form 1302) data in accordance with the Customs Regulations at 19 CFR, Part 4.
