The three types of freight documentation are:
A bill of lading that lists the contract details between the carrier, mover and receiver of goods. It also establishes the point of origin of the ship
The freight bill acts as an invoice for the products being carried to a particular destination. It lists the fees charged by the shipping company to move the cargo
The freight claims document is a sort of claim form filed by the owner of the cargo. It establishes the terms of monetary settlement in case the transporting company fails to deliver the cargo
