FORM OF BILL OF LADING REQUIRED IN OVERSEAS SHIPMENT --
"OVERSEAS." (1) Where the contract contemplates overseas shipment and contains
a term C.I.F. or C. & F. or F.O.B. vessel, the seller unless otherwise agreed
must obtain a negotiable bill of lading stating that the goods have been
loaded on board or, in the case of a term C.I.F. or C. & F., received for
shipment.
(2) Where in a case within subsection (1) of this section a tangible bill
of lading has been issued in a set of parts, unless otherwise agreed if the
documents are not to be sent from abroad the buyer may demand tender of the
full set; otherwise only one (1) part of the bill of lading need be tendered.
Even if the agreement expressly requires a full set
(a) due tender of a single part is acceptable within the provisions of
this chapter on cure of improper delivery (subsection (1) of section
28-2-508); and
(b) even though the full set is demanded, if the documents are sent from
abroad the person tendering an incomplete set may nevertheless require
payment upon furnishing an indemnity which the buyer in good faith deems
adequate.
(3) A shipment by water or by air or a contract contemplating such
shipment is "overseas" insofar as by usage of trade or agreement it is subject
to the commercial, financing or shipping practices characteristic of
international deep water commerce.
