goods have been received for shipment. Dock

receipt transfers the accountability for the safe custody of the

cargo from the shipper to the carrier, and serves as the basis

for preparing the bill of lading

• The dock receipt is designed to provide the exporter with

proof of delivery of the cargo to the international carrier in

good condition. The inland carrier may deliver the goods to a

warehouse company or a warehouse operated by the carrier

as arranged by the freight forwarder.
