The Ad Valorem Bill of Lading is a specialized type of transport document used in maritime shipping when there is a need to explicitly declare the value of the cargo being transported. This document is particularly relevant under Danish jurisdiction, where it must comply with the Danish Merchant Shipping Act and international conventions. It differs from a standard bill of lading as it includes the declared value of goods, which affects the carrier's liability limits and often results in higher freight charges. This type of document is typically used for high-value shipments, when required by letters of credit, or when specific insurance arrangements necessitate value declaration. The document serves three crucial functions: as a receipt for goods shipped, evidence of the contract of carriage, and a transferable document of title. Under Danish law, these documents are commonly used in international trade and banking transactions where precise value declaration is necessary for legal or commercial reasons.
