Essential Shipping Documents You’ll Need

Bill of Lading (BOL)
The Bill of Lading (BOL) is one of the most important documents for any shipment.
It serves as a contract between the shipper and the carrier and includes key details such as:

• Origin and destination

• Description of the goods

• Quantity and weight

At Freightzy, you can easily generate and download your BOL through your secure portal.

Canada Customs Invoice
If you're shipping to Canada, a Canada Customs Invoice is required.
This specialized document includes more detailed information than a regular commercial invoice. You can download a sample here- Canada Customs Invoice
