The Bill of Lading and Shipping Bill package is a fundamental requirement for conducting international trade through Indian ports. The Bill of Lading, regulated primarily by the Indian Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1925, serves three crucial functions: it acts as a receipt confirming the carrier's possession of goods, evidences the contract of carriage between shipper and carrier, and functions as a document of title to the goods. The Shipping Bill, governed by the Customs Act, 1962, is an equally important document that serves as an export declaration to Indian customs authorities. Together, these documents form a comprehensive package that enables the legal transport of goods, facilitates customs clearance, and protects the interests of all parties involved in the international shipping transaction. This documentation is mandatory for all exports from India and must comply with both domestic regulations and international shipping practices.
