A translation hasn’t been published for this section yet. The official text below is complete and authoritative.
A bill of lading is negotiable if the bill—
states that the goods are to be delivered to the order of a consignee; and
does not contain on its face an agreement with the shipper that the bill is not negotiable.
Inserting in a negotiable bill of lading the name of a person to be notified of the arrival of the goods—
does not limit its negotiability; and
is not notice to the purchaser of the goods of a right the named person has to the goods.
A bill of lading is nonnegotiable if the bill states that the goods are to be delivered to a consignee. The indorsement of a nonnegotiable bill does not—
make the bill negotiable; or
give the transferee any additional right.
A common carrier issuing a nonnegotiable bill of lading must put “nonnegotiable” or “not negotiable” on the bill. This paragraph does not apply to an informal memorandum or acknowledgment.
