Document background
The Inland Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in Saudi Arabian domestic freight transport, essential for documenting the movement of goods within the Kingdom. It serves three primary functions: as a receipt confirming the carrier's acceptance of goods, as evidence of a transport contract, and as a document of title to the goods. This document is required whenever goods are transported by road within Saudi Arabia, complying with the Transport General Authority's regulations and Saudi Commercial Law. The Inland Bill of Lading includes critical information such as shipper and consignee details, cargo description, transport conditions, and liability terms, all structured to align with Saudi legal requirements and Sharia principles. It's particularly important for businesses engaged in domestic trade, providing legal protection and clear documentation of transportation arrangements for all parties involved.
