Bill of Lading Extractor

The B/L number, the shipper and its address, the consignee and its address, the carrier or shipping line, the vessel name and voyage (or flight) number, the ports of loading and discharge, the issue date, the freight terms (prepaid or collect), and the incoterms — plus the full cargo / goods description block.

Yes. The cargo items return as a structured table with one row per line of goods and named columns for the fields on each line — the marks and numbers on the packages, the description of the goods, the number and kind of packages (such as 50 Cartons or 5 Pallets), the gross weight with its unit, and the measurement or volume — so a multi-line shipment exports as CSV rows rather than one text blob.

Yes. It handles the maritime ocean bill of lading with its vessel, voyage, and container and seal numbers, the non-negotiable straight (domestic) bill of lading used by road carriers with its NMFC description of articles, and house or master B/Ls. Field synonyms cover German, Spanish, and French labels such as Absender, Empfänger, consignatario, and destinataire, and dates are read against EU formats like 24.06.2026 as well as US formats.

A bill of lading is a negotiable document of title that can be endorsed and must be surrendered at destination. A sea waybill is the non-negotiable ocean transport document that does not need to be surrendered, and an air waybill covers air transport with airports and flight numbers; those have their own extractors linked below. This tool is tuned for the negotiable ocean or straight B/L.

PDF only, up to 10MB and 100 pages. The bill of lading is processed via the Talonic API for extraction only, is not retained for training, and is not shared.
