When you need a legalised bill of lading in Cambodia
The bill of lading is the carrier's receipt for the goods and the document of title for sea cargo. It shows the shipper, consignee, vessel, ports and container details. The shipping line or its agent issues the bill of lading; for air cargo the equivalent is the airway bill.
Importers across Asia increasingly verify origin and value documents before clearance, and some still ask for paper documents with embassy stamps.
Companies dealing with Cambodia are most often asked for a legalised bill of lading during proof of shipment for customs, as well as for letter of credit documentation and cargo release at the destination port.
A bill of lading issued in India is attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Cambodia in New Delhi.
