7.2.3 Straight B/Ls and Waybills Compared记名提单和运单比较
Waybills and some straight B/Ls are not documents of title.These documents merely show the names of the shipper and consignee.Since a straight B/L and a waybill only envisage delivery be made to the named consignee,the importer doesn’t need to present the documentfor taking delivery.However,if a straight B/L expressly states that“delivery shall only be made against presentation of an original B/L”,this requirement turns the straight B/L into a title document and should be complied with.Most waybills,however,expressly state that presentation is not required for taking delivery(see Figure 7-3 and Figure 7-4).
