The Bill of Lading (Transport) is a fundamental document in international trade and shipping operations, regulated under Austrian law primarily through the Commercial Code (UGB) and relevant EU regulations. This document is required whenever goods are transported, particularly in international trade scenarios, serving three critical functions: acknowledging receipt of goods by the carrier, evidencing the contract of carriage, and acting as a document of title that enables transfer of ownership while goods are in transit. The document must comply with Austrian legal requirements while aligning with international conventions such as the Hague-Visby Rules and CMR Convention, making it particularly important for Austria's role in European and global trade. It contains detailed information about the shipped goods, parties involved, vessel details, and terms of carriage, and can be used in both maritime and multimodal transport scenarios.
