Bill of lading for Peru: 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.
Customs brokers and banks in the Americas may ask for apostilled shipping documents for certain goods or payment terms.
Companies dealing with Peru are most often asked for a legalised bill of lading during proof of shipment for customs, as well as 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. Peru accepts the apostille, so no embassy step is needed.
