A single bill of lading covering the inland transport of a cargo from the point of origin to that of final delivery to the ultimate consignee, when two or more modes of transportation are used. Ocean shipments however usually require two separate documents. i.e. an Inland bill of lading for the domestic carriage and an Ocean bill of lading for international carriage. Through bills of lading cannot, therefore, be used. See also Air Waybill. Français: Connaissement direct Español: Conocimiento de embarque directo

A single bill of lading converting both the domestic and international carriage of an export shipment. An air waybill, for instance, is essentially a through bill of lading used for air shipments. Ocean shipments, on the other hand, usually require two separate documents - an inland bill of lading for domestic carriage and an ocean bill of lading for international carriage. Through bills of lading are insufficient for ocean shipments. Compare Air waybill, Inland bill of lading, and Ocean bill of lading.
A single bill of lading (B/L) covering both the domestic and international carriage of an export shipment, a U/C air waybill, for instance, is essentially a through bill of lading used or air shipments. Ocean shipments, on the other hand, usually require two separate documents--an island bill of lading for domestic carriage and an ocean bill of lading for international carriage. Through bills of lading, therefore, cannot be used. (See air waybill, bill of lading, inland bill of lading, ocean bill of lading.)
