The Forwarder's Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in international trade and logistics operations under New Zealand jurisdiction. It is specifically used when a freight forwarder, rather than a direct carrier, arranges the transportation of goods. This document combines multiple functions: it acts as a receipt confirming the forwarder's acceptance of goods, evidences the contract of carriage, and can serve as a document of title enabling the transfer of ownership. The document must comply with New Zealand's Maritime Transport Act 1994, the Contract and Commercial Law Act 2017, and relevant international conventions. It contains detailed information about the shipment, including parties involved, goods description, routing details, and applicable terms and conditions. The Forwarder's Bill of Lading is particularly crucial in transactions involving documentary credits and international trade finance.
