Document background
The Air Freight Bill of Lading is a crucial document in international air cargo transportation, particularly vital in Singapore's role as a major global logistics hub. This document is required whenever goods are transported by air freight and serves multiple purposes: it acts as evidence of the contract of carriage, a receipt for goods, and a document of title. Under Singapore jurisdiction, the Air Freight Bill of Lading must comply with both local regulations and international conventions, including IATA standards and the Montreal Convention. It includes essential information about the shipment, parties involved, and terms of carriage, while providing legal protection for all parties involved in the transaction.
