Document background
The Air Freight Bill of Lading is a fundamental document in international air cargo transportation, essential for shipments originating from, destined to, or transiting through Hong Kong. This document is required whenever goods are transported by air and serves multiple purposes: it acts as a receipt confirming the carrier's acceptance of goods, provides evidence of the contract of carriage, and contains all necessary shipping instructions and conditions. Used in conjunction with Hong Kong's Carriage by Air Ordinance (Cap. 500) and international conventions, it ensures compliance with both local and international air freight regulations. The document includes crucial information such as shipper and consignee details, cargo specifications, routing information, and carrier's terms and conditions.
