Bill Of Lading (BOL) & Proof Of Custody
Documenting the Journey
The Bill of Lading (BOL) is a critical document in the shipping process, serving as a contract of carriage and a receipt of goods. At Global Tranzit, we provide digital and physical BOLs for every shipment.
Purpose of the BOL
Contract
Defines the terms of transport.
Receipt
Evidence of goods received.
Title
Proof of ownership and custody.
Types of Bill of Lading
Depending on the nature of the shipment and the destination, we issue several types of BOLs:
Straight BOL
Non-negotiable; typically used when the goods are pre-paid and delivered directly to a specific consignee.
Order BOL
Negotiable; can be used for shipments where the title of goods is transferred during transit.
Digital BOL (e-BOL)
Global Tranzit is committed to paperless logistics. Our e-BOL system allows for instant digital signatures, reducing administrative overhead and accelerating the clearance process at international borders.
