Negotiable Bill of Lading
A title document to the goods, issued "to the order of" a party, usually the shipper, whose endorsement is required to effect its negotiation. Thus, a shipper's order (negotiable) bill of lading can be bought, sold or traded while goods are in transit and is commonly used for letter-of-credit transactions. The buyer must submit the original bill of lading to the carrier in order to take possession of the goods.
Negotiable Instrument
A negotiable instrument is any document, which permits one party to transfer their rights to a second party by endorsing and delivering the document to the second party. An instrument is only fully negotiable when the party transferring it receives value and the party receiving the document can obtain a stronger legal position than the party transferring the document. For example, a first party transfers their rights to the second party, who are unaware that the transaction is fraudulent and negotiates the instrument in good faith and for value. If the first party has transferred their rights against a third party, then the second party retains a valid claim against both the first and third parties. Examples of negotiable instruments in international trade are cheques, Bills of Exchange and promissory notes.
