When you need a legalised bill of lading in Mauritius
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.
Many African customs authorities and banks ask for legalised commercial invoices and certificates of origin, especially for shipments paid by letter of credit.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Mauritius usually ask for a legalised bill of lading for proof of shipment for customs, letter of credit documentation or 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. Mauritius accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
