  • a document used as a receipt for goods. Unlike a bill of lading it is not a document of title. This document is also synonymous with liner waybill, ocean waybill, or sea waybill
  • the carrier's list of goods despatched, given to sender as receipt and acknowledgement of obligation to deliver them at the agreed destination
  • NB! "BILL OF LADING" and "WAYBILL" are not synonymous; they designate two different documents. Nevertheless, these two documents are interchangeable for the purposes stated in the definition (waybill - a document made out by the carrier at the point of origin which shows the point of origin, destination, route, consignor, consignee, description of shipment, and freight charge) hence the confusion.
  • document justificatif du contrat concernant le transport de marchandises entre l'expéditeur et le voiturier
