The Duplicate Bill of Lading is a vital document in international trade and shipping, issued when the original Bill of Lading becomes unavailable due to loss, damage, or other circumstances. Operating under Indian jurisdiction, particularly The Indian Bills of Lading Act, 1856, and The Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1925, this document carries the same legal weight as the original. It contains comprehensive information about the shipment, including carrier details, cargo specifications, ports of loading and discharge, and terms of carriage. The duplicate is typically issued against a Letter of Indemnity and requires careful verification to prevent fraudulent use. It serves multiple functions: as a document of title, a receipt for goods shipped, and evidence of the contract of carriage, making it essential for international trade operations and trade finance.
