Document background
The Inland Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in Malaysian domestic trade and transportation, essential for documenting the movement of goods within the country's borders. This document is required when goods are transported by land between different locations in Malaysia, serving three primary functions: as a receipt confirming the carrier's acceptance of goods, as evidence of the transport contract, and as a document of title enabling the transfer of ownership. The document must comply with Malaysian legislation, particularly the Carriage of Goods by Land Act 1965 and the Contracts Act 1950. It contains crucial information including shipper and consignee details, goods description, transport conditions, and liability terms. The Inland Bill of Lading is particularly important for businesses engaged in domestic trade and requires careful attention to detail in its preparation and handling.
