((a)) ** .—**

((1)) A bill of lading is negotiable if the bill—

((A)) states that the goods are to be delivered to the order of a consignee; and

((B)) does not contain on its face an agreement with the shipper that the bill is not negotiable.

((2)) Inserting in a negotiable bill of lading the name of a person to be notified of the arrival of the goods—

((A)) does not limit its negotiability; and

((B)) is not notice to the purchaser of the goods of a right the named person has to the goods.

((b)) ** .—**

((1)) A bill of lading is nonnegotiable if the bill states that the goods are to be delivered to a consignee. The indorsement of a nonnegotiable bill does not—

((A)) make the bill negotiable; or

((B)) give the transferee any additional right.

((2)) A common carrier issuing a nonnegotiable bill of lading must put “nonnegotiable” or “not negotiable” on the bill. This paragraph does not apply to an informal memorandum or acknowledgment.
