Bill of lading for Kazakhstan: 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.
Importers across Asia increasingly verify origin and value documents before clearance, and some still ask for paper documents with embassy stamps.
In Kazakhstan, 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. Kazakhstan accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
