🔍 Key Concepts

• Cargo documentation types and their primary purpose (contract of carriage vs. cargo list vs. customs form vs. risk-shifting document) • Where exceptions, shortages, or damage notations are normally recorded at time of loading • Which document is normally used by masters and mates to check what is actually on board

💭 Think About

• For each option, ask: Is this document mainly a contract, a list/record, a customs/export form, or a risk/guarantee document? Which type would logically carry specific notations about problems with the cargo? • Think about when cargo is found short, damaged, or otherwise not as described at loading—what document is physically in front of the officer or agent making that notation? • Eliminate any documents that are primarily for government reporting or for shifting liability rather than recording the actual condition and quantity of cargo on board.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which document is the contract of carriage between shipper and carrier and how exceptions are normally shown on it. • Verify which document is primarily for customs/export authorities and whether it typically includes condition/shortage notes or just basic cargo details. • Confirm which document actually itemizes the cargo loaded on board by item and quantity, where discrepancies would be most obvious.
