Document background
The Inland Bill of Lading is a crucial document in Philippine domestic transportation, used when goods are transported by land within the country's borders. This document is essential for compliance with Philippine transportation laws and commercial regulations, providing legal protection for all parties involved in the shipment. The Inland Bill of Lading serves three primary functions: it acts as a receipt confirming the carrier's acceptance of goods, provides evidence of the transport contract, and serves as a document of title to the goods. It must contain specific information required by Philippine law, including detailed descriptions of the goods, parties involved, and terms of carriage. The document is particularly important for tracking cargo movement, establishing liability, and facilitating payment in domestic trade transactions within the Philippine archipelago.
