Bill of lading for Georgia: what and why
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.
European buyers rarely need legalised shipping documents for routine trade, but authorities and banks may ask for them in tenders, disputes or special import regimes.
In Georgia, a legalised bill of lading is typically requested for proof of shipment for customs; it is also used for letter of credit documentation and cargo release at the destination port.
A bill of lading issued in India is notarised, attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce and then apostilled by the MEA. Georgia accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
