Understanding Freight Documentation Requirements for Logistics

In logistics, several key documents are required for regulatory and operational compliance. These include bills of lading, invoices, customs paperwork, and compliance certificates.

• Bill of Lading: Serves as a receipt and contract for the shipment of goods.

• Customs Documents: Required for cross-border shipments to ensure compliance with international trade laws.

• Permits and Licenses: Documents such as USDOT and MC numbers validate a carrier’s ability to operate legally within the U.S.
