A Freight Broker – Carrier Service Agreement is an important document for establishing clear expectations and responsibilities between the parties, ensuring a smooth and lawful operation within the logistics and transportation industry. The CIFFA document is a legal agreement outlining the specific terms and conditions of the working relationship between the carrier and freight broker.
A House Bill of Lading (HBL) is a BOL created by an Ocean Transport Intermediary (OTI), such as a freight forwarder or non-vessel operating company (NVOCC), and is issued to the supplier once the cargo has been received. The HBL is an essential document in shipping, as it’s the formal acknowledgment of the receipt of goods being shipped.
The CIFFA Non-negotiable Bill of Lading (BOL) remains one of the most fundamental and important shipping documents. It is evidence of a contract between the shipper and the carrier and acts as a receipt that the carrier has accepted the shipment in good order.
