 Types of Bill of Lading

1. Straight Bill of Lading: This is typically used when shipping to a customer. The
Straight Bill of Lading is for shipping items that have already been paid for
2. To Order Bill of Lading: Used for shipments when payment is not made in advance.
This can be shipping to one of your distributors or a customer on terms
3. Clean Bill of Lading: A Clean Bill of Lading is simply a BOL that the shipping carrier
has to sign off on saying that when the packages were loaded they were in good
condition. If the packages are damaged or the cargo is marred in some way (rusted
metal, stained paper, etc.), they will need to issue a Soiled Bill of Lading or a Bill of
Lading.
4. Inland Bill of Lading: This allows the shipping carrier to ship cargo, by road or rail,
across domestic land, but not over seas
 Types of Bill of Lading

5. Ocean Bill of Lading: Ocean Bills of Lading allows the shipper to transport the cargo over
seas, nationally or internationally.
6. Through Bill of Lading: Through Bills of Lading are a little more complex than most BOLs.
It allows for the shipping carrier to pass the cargo through several different modes of
transportation and/or several different distribution centers. This Bill of Lading needs to
include an Inland Bill of Lading and/or an Ocean Bill of Lading depending on its final
destination.
7. Multimodal/Combined Transport Bill of Lading: This is a type of Through Bill of Lading
that involves a minimum of two different modes of transport, land or ocean. The modes of
transportation can be anything from freight boat to air.
8. Direct Bill of Lading: Use a Direct Bill of Lading when you know the same vessel that
picked up the cargo will deliver it to its final destination.
 Types of Bill of Lading

9. Stale Bill of Lading: Occasionally in cases of short-over-seas cargo transportation, the

cargo arrives to port before the Bill of Lading. When that happens, the Bill of Lading is then
stale.
10. Shipped On Board Bill of Lading: A Shipped On Board Bill of Lading is issued when the
cargo arrives at the port in good, expected condition from the shipping carrier and is then
loaded onto the cargo ship for transport over seas.
11. Received Bill of Lading: It is simply a Bill of Lading stating that the cargo has arrived at
the port and is cleared to be loaded on the ship, but does not necessary mean it has been
loaded.
12. Claused Bill of Lading: If the cargo is damaged or there are missing quantities, a
Claused Bill of Lading is issued.
AIR WAYBILL

AIR WAY BILL is a document that accompanies goods shipped by an international

courier to provide detailed information about the shipment and allow it to be
tracked

Characteristics:
Acts as a customs declaration form
Document of instructions for the airline handling staff
A contract between the airlines or his agent to carry goods to the destination
Multiple copies so that each party involved in the shipment can document it
Types of Air Waybill

According to the issuer, AWB can be divided into the two kinds:
Master Air Waybill (MAWB) means its issuer is air carrier and the
shipping contract between the air carrier and air freight
forwarding authorized agent.
House Air Waybill (HAWB) is issued by the authorized forwarding
agent and constituents the contract between the forwarder and
the consignor.
SEA WAYBILL

Sea waybill or ocean waybill: issued by the shipping company covering port-to-
port shipment, not a title document.
The sea waybill is a non-negotiable receipt for the goods loaded aboard the
carrying vessel at the port of loading.
They are not negotiable documents, nor documents of title.
Because the waybill is non-negotiable, banks involved in documentary credit
sales, in most cases, do not allow for the use of waybills in such transactions,
especially where the cargo concerned is one likely to be sold and resold one or
more times while it is in transit.
The sea waybill, unlike the bill of lading, does not have to be tendered by the
named consignee or its agent at the port of discharge or place of delivery in order
to take possession of the goods there. It suffices if the consignee identifies itself
as the party identified as such in the document.
