The Combined Bill of Lading is essential for international trade operations involving multiple transport modes, particularly relevant in Belgium's sophisticated logistics network. This document type emerged from the need to simplify documentation in complex supply chains where goods move through various modes of transport. Under Belgian law, which aligns with both EU regulations and international maritime conventions, the Combined Bill of Lading serves three crucial functions: it acts as a receipt for goods, provides evidence of the transport contract, and serves as a document of title. It includes comprehensive information about the cargo, transport conditions, liability regimes for different transport modes, and the responsibilities of all parties involved. The document is particularly important for shipments moving through Belgian ports and logistics hubs, where multimodal transport operations are common.
