The Household Goods Bill of Lading is a crucial document in the moving industry, required by US federal law for interstate moves. It serves multiple purposes: documenting the contract of carriage, providing receipt for goods, and establishing terms of liability and service. This document becomes particularly important when disputes arise about damaged or lost items, as it outlines the agreed-upon valuation and carrier's liability. The Bill of Lading must comply with federal regulations, including the Carmack Amendment and FMCSA requirements, and provides legal protection for both the carrier and the shipper.
