The Import Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in international maritime trade, particularly crucial for shipments entering Denmark or involving Danish-flagged vessels. This document is governed by Danish law, specifically the Danish Merchant Shipping Act (Søloven), and incorporates relevant international conventions such as the Hague-Visby Rules. The Import Bill of Lading serves three essential functions: it acts as a receipt confirming the carrier's possession of goods, provides evidence of the contract of carriage, and serves as a document of title enabling the transfer of ownership. It contains vital information including carrier and shipper details, cargo description, vessel information, and terms of carriage. This document is particularly important for customs clearance, cargo release at destination, and establishing liability in case of cargo damage or loss.
