Question 2813 Deck General

The correct answer is A) surrendered to the customs agency of the country where the cargo is discharged. The original Bill of Lading is a key shipping document, but it is not surrendered to customs upon cargo discharge. The Bill of Lading serves as a receipt for the goods received on board (answer B) and can be used to transfer ownership of the cargo while the ship is in transit (answer D), but it is not proof of title or ownership itself (answer C). The Bill of Lading remains with the cargo owner or their representative, not the customs agency, as it is an important legal document that establishes the chain of custody for the shipped goods.
