Answer:

The answer is A) The shipping document must be in paper form.

Explanation:

When you are shipping goods (specially if you´re exporting or importing goods) you need a lot of paperwork done. The carrier, customs official, the banks involved, insurance companies, etc., all require several types of documents. The most important ones are:

  • Proforma invoice
  • Bill of Lading
  • Shipper´s Letter of Instructions (SLI)
  • Packing List
  • Commercial Invoice
  • Customs documents
  • Certificates of Origin
  • Dangerous Goods forms
  • Bank Draft

And all those documents need to be in paper form and some require several copies.
