When the goods are loaded on board the vessel,the shipping company checks the details on the bill and hands it to the exporter.As soon as the bill of lading is received by an exporter,he must arrange for it to be sent to his customer.The bill can either travel with the goods on the ship or the exporter can mail the bill to the customer — either direct or through a bank,depending on the method of payment.
If the handing over of the bill of lading is linked with a method of payment,it is important that all originals are kept together.When payment is arranged under a documentary credit (letter of credit),the terms of the credit usually state that the bill of lading must be clean,shipped,in order and blank endorsed.This means that the goods must be in apparent good order be loaded on board the stated vessel and that the bill gives title to any bearer.Great care must be taken to see that this legal document is made out in the proper way.
