Examples of TRANSPORT documents:

i. Dock receipt

• The dock receipt is often prepared by the exporter or the

freight forwarder and is signed by the warehouse worker or

agent for the carrier upon receipt of the goods. The dock

receipt either accompanies the cargo when it is delivered to

the pier or is emailed or faxed to the stevedore at the pier

receiving the cargo.

• Once the goods are delivered and signed for, the inland

carrier provides the dock receipt to the freight forwarder as

evidence it has successfully completed delivery of the goods.

This is important in case the goods are lost or damaged after

delivery to the dock and before arriving at their international

destination.
