The English Bill of Lading, adapted for use under Pakistani jurisdiction, is a fundamental document in maritime trade and shipping operations. It is primarily used when goods are transported by sea, serving as conclusive evidence of shipment under Pakistani law, which largely follows English common law principles in maritime matters. This document becomes necessary whenever cargo is shipped by sea, whether for domestic coastal trade or international shipments. The Bill of Lading must comply with Pakistan's Carriage of Goods by Sea Act, 1925, and other relevant maritime legislation, while maintaining the standard format and functions recognized in international trade. It includes crucial information such as cargo details, shipping terms, parties involved, and vessel information, making it essential for trade finance, customs clearance, and cargo claims.
