Document background
The Bill of Lading Form For Car (Transport) is a specialized shipping document essential for the transportation of vehicles within and from India. This document is required whenever a vehicle needs to be transported by sea, whether for domestic coastal movement or international export. It combines standard bill of lading requirements under Indian maritime law with specific provisions for vehicle transport, including detailed vehicle identification, condition reporting, and handling instructions. The document must comply with the Indian Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1925, the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and other relevant Indian transport regulations. It serves multiple purposes: as evidence of receipt of the vehicle by the carrier, as a contract of carriage detailing the terms of transport, and as a document of title enabling the transfer of ownership rights during transit.
