The Groupage Bill of Lading is essential for modern international trade operations where multiple smaller shipments are consolidated into one larger consignment. This document type emerged from the need to efficiently handle grouped cargo shipments while maintaining legal compliance and operational efficiency. Under Austrian jurisdiction, it must comply with the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), EU regulations, and international maritime conventions. The document serves three critical functions: it acts as a receipt for the consolidated goods, provides evidence of the transport contract, and serves as a document of title. It's particularly vital for freight forwarders and consolidators operating in Austria and handling international shipments, as it allows them to combine multiple house bills of lading under one master document while maintaining clear documentation of individual shipments within the consolidation.
