When you need a legalised bill of lading in Norway
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.
Authorities, banks and business partners in Norway 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. Norway accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.

Notarisation
A notary in India verifies the signature on the bill of lading or certifies the copy, which is the first stamp in the chain.

An Indian Chamber of Commerce verifies the issuing authority's signature and your company's details, then stamps the bill of lading.
