Revenue stamps on bills of lading and shipping receipts
The Revenue Law effective July 1 requires internal revenue stamps on bills of lading or freight receipts. A stamped document is required for each complete shipment and for shipments from one consignor to one consignee on a single day. If shipments are split in parts, the agent must determine the complete shipment to ensure proper stamping. Additional receipts may be issued with the proper stamp, and exchanges may occur only with the correct denominations. Penalties apply for noncompliance.
