A Verified Copy of Bill of Lading (VC) refers to a document that is a confirmed or authenticated copy of the original bill of lading. The bill of lading is a crucial document in the shipping industry, acting as a contract between the shipper and carrier, a receipt of goods, and a document of title that can be used to transfer ownership by endorsement.
