When you need a legalised bill of lading in South Sudan
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.
In South Sudan, 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 South Sudan in New Delhi.
