Bill of Lading (BOL) Back is an invoice from the ocean carrier. It is a focused form of the standard invoice, specific to ocean carriers. It is called BOL Back because the invoice often is the BOL sent to the carrier, but sent back with the carrier's costs. A BOL Back follows the same settlement process as an invoice.
