The Auto Transport Bill of Lading is a critical document in South Africa's vehicle transportation industry, essential for both domestic and international vehicle movements. This document is required whenever a vehicle is transported by a carrier from one location to another, whether for private individuals, dealerships, or commercial fleet operations. The BOL serves three primary functions: it acts as a receipt confirming the carrier's acceptance of the vehicle, provides evidence of the transport contract, and serves as a document of title. It must comply with South African transportation laws, including the National Road Traffic Act and Cross-Border Transport Act, particularly when vehicles are transported across provincial or international boundaries. The document includes comprehensive details about the vehicle, transport conditions, liability terms, and all parties involved in the transaction.
