What type of document serves as a receipt and presumption of title to the goods?

Delivery Receipt
Proforma Invoice
Straight Bill of Lading
Commercial Invoice

The correct answer is: Straight Bill of Lading

A straight bill of lading serves as both a receipt for the goods and a presumption of title, which is fundamental in logistics and shipping operations. When goods are shipped, the straight bill of lading indicates that the carrier has received the specified items and it acts as proof that the carrier is responsible for their safekeeping during transit. Furthermore, it signifies that the consignee is entitled to take possession of the goods upon arrival. Unlike other types of documentation, such as a delivery receipt or a commercial invoice, which may simply indicate the quantity or value of goods, a straight bill of lading also contains the contractual details involved in the transportation of those goods. This legal document is particularly important in situations where the title to the goods may be in question, as it plays a crucial role in determining legal ownership.
