Unclean Bill Of Lading

A bill of lading is considered clean if it does not indicate any deficiencies. The phrase quantity and condition unknown suggests uncertainty, potentially making it unclean. If the contract specifies first-class quality, this uncertainty could be problematic. It is advisable to seek clarification from the other party or consult a legal professional to ensure compliance with contract terms.
