S.C. Code Ann. § 36-7-104

Negotiable and nonnegotiable warehouse receipt, bill of lading or other document of title

Known as the Uniform Commercial Code

The act spans §§ 36–36 (519 sections).

1962 Code SECTION 10.7-104; 1966 (54) 2716; 2014 Act No. 213 (S.343), SECTION 2, eff October 1, 2014.

(a) Except as provided in subsection (c), a warehouse receipt, bill of lading, or other document of title is negotiable if by its terms the goods are to be delivered to bearer or to the order of a named person.

(b) A document of title other than one described in subsection (a) is nonnegotiable. A bill of lading stating that the goods are consigned to a named person is not made negotiable by a provision that the goods are to be delivered only against an order in a record signed by the same or another named person.

(c) A document of title is nonnegotiable if, at the time it is issued, the document has a conspicuous legend, however expressed, that it is nonnegotiable.
