What does the checker verify on a bill of lading verification?

Container check digits against ISO 6346, weight and unit consistency, date coherence, Incoterm and port-code sanity, required-field presence and more — 24 checks in total, each reported with the field it applies to.

Is my document stored?

No. The file stays in memory while it is processed and is never written to disk. The result is deleted automatically within 24 hours, and documents are never used to train models.

How much does it cost?

The first 3 documents every month are free. Paid plans start at $19 per month for 50 documents. A one-off Batch Pack covers 5,000 documents.

What a field-level check covers

A Bill of Lading carries dozens of fields, and the expensive mistakes are rarely typos. They are contradictions: a weight that does not match the container lines, a package count that disagrees with itself, an on-board date that falls after the issue date.

· Container numbers, against the ISO 6346 check digit
· Gross and net weight, and whether the units agree
· Package counts, the total against the container lines
· Dates, in the order the shipment actually happened
· Port codes and Incoterms, against the standard lists
· Required fields, present rather than assumed

Why reading the document is not enough

Extraction tells you what a document says. It cannot tell you whether what it says is consistent. A shipper name misspelled is invisible to extraction and obvious to nobody until a bank or a customs broker refuses the set — which is the point at which fixing it costs money and days.

What this checker does not do

· It does not replace the carrier's own confirmation of the booking.
· It is not a customs declaration and not a legal opinion.
· It checks the Bill of Lading. Matching it against an invoice or a packing list is a separate, fixed-price integration.
