Also known as a material handling order form, the bill of lading is a list or inventory of goods being shipped. It serves as a document establishing the terms between a shipper (the exhibitor) and a carrier (the transportation company) listing the number of pieces, and a total weight for the shipment. It is usually prepared by the shipper on forms provided by the carrier and is needed for both inbound and outbound shipments.
