Frequently Asked Questions

What is a FIATA Bill of Lading?
A FIATA Bill of Lading (FBL) is a shipping contract issued by the “Fédération Internationale des Associations de Transitaires et Assimilés” (International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations). 

It serves as proof that goods have been carried with the use of more than one mode of transportation. It also determines the responsibilities of the freight forwarder. 

FBLs may be printed and issued only by associations or members authorized by FIATA, which ensures the security of the bill of lading. As such, the FBL is recognized as a document of tradition and trust.
How much does FIATA Bill of Lading OCR cost?
The pricing structure for Klippa FBL capturing depends on the amount of fields and the document volume. Both pay per use and monthly licenses are available.

Most of the time we use JSON for this, but depending on your preferences we can also convert FBLs to CSV, XLSX or XML.
