Page 1 of ASBAGASBILL deviates from CONGENBILL 2016 in two places. Firstly, the place and date of signing have been moved to the signature box.

So, to avoid disputes about which date is the bill of lading date, the appropriate box has been amended to read “Bill of Lading date (Date shipped on board)”.
