Document background
The Airway Bill Bill of Lading is a crucial transport document used in Philippine commerce and international trade that combines elements of both air and sea shipping documentation. It is particularly relevant when shipments may involve multiple modes of transport or when flexibility in transport mode is required. This document is essential for compliance with Philippine regulations, including the Civil Code of the Philippines, the Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, and the Philippine Civil Aviation Regulations. It contains detailed information about the parties involved, cargo specifications, terms of carriage, and liability provisions. The document is widely used in international trade transactions, letters of credit, and customs clearance procedures, serving as both a receipt for goods and evidence of the contract of carriage.
