Letter of Credit Forum

Dear All,

I need clarification on what we mean to say Three original BL or Three original airway bills.

I read from one of Phil's articles that "...Note here too that when we talk of say three ‘original’ bills of lading or three original waybills, what we actually mean is three ‘identical’ documents: they cannot all be originals, only one can be an original..."

I want to understand what it means to say 3 originals or BL or waybill.
