Concept:A document of title of goods gives the holder legal ownership and the right to claim or transfer the goods.
Explanation:A bill of lading is issued by a carrier to acknowledge receipt of cargo for shipment.
It acts as a receipt for the goods, evidence of the contract of carriage, and a document of title.
The holder of a bill of lading can claim the goods at the destination or transfer ownership by endorsing it.
A bill of exchange is a payment instrument, not a title to goods.
A bill of entry is a customs declaration form used during import or export.
A letter of hypothecation creates a security charge over goods but does not represent ownership.
Thus, only the bill of lading gives the holder legal control over the goods while they are in transit.
