Colleagues:
Happy Monday! I am conducting some research on Bill of Lading retention requirements and I wanted to ask the List if anyone has any input on the subject. I have read through the Federal Bill of Lading Act. Specifically, 49 CFR Section 379 Appendix A seems to indicate a 1 year retention period. I also looked through the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 7 and I couldn't find any retention requirements there. Lastly, I took a peek at Title 19 (Customs Duties) Part 163 (Recordkeeping). In there, I read 163.1 (Record Retention Period) and it clearly states a 5 year retention period from the date of entry. This could be applicable to my research, but maybe not for Domestic Bill of Lading documents.
Does anyone in the Listserv have experience with Bill of Lading retention requirements and if so, can you cite the source? This is not the most exciting subject in the world, but it's a little something to get the ball rolling this week. I appreciate your help!
Thanks, Steve
