shipping document

Freight tracking form

A shipping document is any paperwork that accompanies goods in transit, providing information about contents, origin, destination, and ownership.

Common types include bills of lading, packing lists, and commercial invoices.

Customs authorities and carriers require shipping documents to verify cargo and process deliveries: Make sure all shipping documents are in order before the container leaves port.
