Document background
The Moving Company Bill of Lading is an essential document in the Philippine transportation and logistics sector, used whenever a moving company undertakes the transportation of goods or household items. This document, governed by Philippine law including the Civil Code and Consumer Act, serves multiple purposes: it acts as a receipt confirming the moving company's acceptance of the goods, provides a detailed inventory of items being transported, and establishes the contractual terms between the carrier and shipper. It must be completed before any movement of goods begins and includes critical information such as parties' details, goods description, declared value, transportation terms, and liability provisions. The document is particularly important for insurance and liability purposes, and may be required for both residential and commercial moves within the Philippines.
