The straight bill of lading is a non-negotiable bill of lading. It is used where the goods have been paid for or do not require payment such as donations or gifts. Under this bill of lading, the shipping company will deliver the shipment to its consignee on the presentation of identification. It is also called the consignment bill of lading.

The bill of lading states that the goods are consigned to a specified person and it is not negotiable.The straight bill of lading is a document in which a seller agrees to use specific transportation to ship vehicles/goods to a certain location, and the bill is assigned to a specific party. The straight bill of lading document details the type, quality, and quantity of the vehicle/good. It also assists as the receipt upon arrival at the destination. Because it is assigned to a specific party, it is not negotiable and may not be re-assigned to another party.

How Does Straight Bill of Lading Work?

This bill of lading is a document in which a seller agrees to use a specific transport option to ship vehicle/goods to a certain location. And the bill is then assigned to a specific party.

  • The original bill of lading is not required to be presented by the buyer or the carrier to get the vehicle/goods. This may run risks for the payment under the letter of credit and cash against documents payment methods.
  • Issuing banks may be left vulnerable to various fraud risks especially under a letter of credit payments as they can lose control of the vehicle/goods by using this Bill of Lading.
