ii)确认货物已装船；还有载有或证明运输合同条款 is a document of title to the goods ；还有

iii)它是货物的所有权凭证，但须遵守不受法律约束的规则 agreed terms and conditions for the transportation of the goods。

          承运人(Carrier)在收到托运人(Shipper)海关代理交付的“让出口”订单后，当通过确认收到托运人(Shipper)/出口商(Exporter)的货物和掌管的货物时会签发提单(Bill of Lading)。承运人(Carrier)必须根据托运人(Shipper)的要求向托运人(Shipper)签发提单(Bill of Lading)。此时，承运人(Carrier)只有义务签发”已收到待装运（received for shipment）“的提单(Bill of Lading)，表明他已收到由其掌管的货物。
