When you need a legalised bill of lading in Mauritania
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.
Customs offices and banks across the Middle East routinely check that shipping documents carry stamps from the exporting country, and many will not release cargo or pay against a letter of credit until they do.
In Mauritania, 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 attested by an Indian Chamber of Commerce, then by the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA), and finally legalised by the Embassy of Mauritania in New Delhi.
