The Direct Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in international trade and shipping, particularly within the Austrian legal framework. It is used when goods are shipped directly from the seller to the buyer without intermediate consignment. This document combines three essential functions: it acts as evidence of the contract of carriage, confirms receipt of goods by the carrier, and serves as a document of title to the goods. The Direct Bill of Lading must comply with Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), EU regulations, and international shipping conventions. It contains crucial information including carrier and shipper details, goods description, shipping terms, and conditions. This document is particularly important for transactions requiring strict documentation, such as letter of credit operations, and provides a secure means of transferring title to goods while in transit.
