运输单据的种类很多，包括 海运 提单(Ocean Bill of Lading)、 海运 单(Sea Waybill)、航空运单(Air Waybill)、铁路运单(Rail Waybill)、货物承运收据(Cargo Receipt)和多式联运单据(MTD)等。
A. 海运 提单
海运提单的性质和作用
海运提单是承运人收到货物后出具的货物收据，也是承运人所签署的运输契约的证明，提单还代表所载货物的所有权，是一种物权凭证。
海运提单的种类
海运提单可以从不同角度，于以分类：
根据货物是否装船，可分为“已装船提单”(Shipped B/L)和“备运提单”(Received for shipment B/L)。“备运提单”上加注 “已装船注记”后，即成为“已装船提单”。
根据报单上对货物外表状况有无不良批注，可分为“清洁提单”和“不清洁提单”。 国际贸易 结算中，银行只接受“清洁提单”，即承运人未在提单上批注货物外表状况有任何不良情况。
根据提单“收货人”栏内的书写内容，可分为“记名提单”和“指示提单”、提单”收货人”栏，又称提单抬头，表明货物所有权的归属。记名提单，该栏记载特定收货人名称，只能由该收货人提货，不能转让。指示提单，又分不记名指示和记名指示：不记名指示提单仅填写“To order”(凭指定)，必须由托运人背书后才能转让，又称“空白抬头”。记名指示提单填写“To the order of … ”(凭某某指定)，该某某即为具体的指示人，提单由其背书后可以转让，通常为受托银行;背书又分两种形式：一种由有权背书人单纯签署，称为空白背书;另一种除背书人签署外，还写明被背书人(受让人)的名称，称为记名背书。在 国际贸易 中，通常采用“凭指示空白背书提单”习惯上称“空白抬头、空白背书”。
船舶运营方式的不同，可分为班轮提单和租船提单。班轮握本上载明运输合同的条款，船货双方受其约束。而租船提单则受另行制定的租船合同约束，故在使用该提单时，往往要提供租船合同副本。
B.铁路运单
铁路运输分为国际铁路联运和通往港澳的国内铁路运输，分别使用国际铁路货物联运单和承运货物收据。
国际铁路货物联运单
该运单为发送国铁路和发货人之间缔结的运输合同，运单签发，即表示承运人已收到货物并受理托运、装车后加盖承运日戳、即为承运。运单正本随同货物送至终点站交收货人，是铁路同收货人交接货物，核收运杂费用的依据。运用副本加盖日戳后是卖方办理银行结算的凭证之一。
承运货物收锯
内地通过国内铁路运往港澳地区出口货物，一般都委托中国对外贸易运输公司承办、货物装车发运后，由外运公司签发一份承运货物收据给托运人。托运人以此作为结汇凭证、承运货物收据既是承运人出具的货物收据，也是承运人与托运人签署的运输契约。
C.航空运单
航空运单是承运人与托运人之间签订的运输契约，也是承运人或其代理人签发的货物收据。航空运单不仅应有承运人或其代理人签字，还必须有托运人签字。航空运单与铁路运单一样，不是物权凭证，不能凭以提取货物，必须作成记名抬头，不能背书转让。
收货人凭航空公司的到货通知单和有关证明提货。
航空运单正本一式三份，分别交托运人航空公司和随机带交收货人，副本若干份由航空公司按规定分发。
D.多式联运单据
多式联运单据是由承运人或其代理人签发，其作用与海运提单相似，既是货物收据也是运输契约的证明、在单据作成指示抬头或不记名抬头时，可作为物权凭证，经背书可以转让。
多式联运单据表面上和联运提单相仿，但联运提单承运人只对自己执行的一段负责，而多式联运承运人对全程负责;联运提单由船公司签发，包括海洋运输在内的全程运输，多式联运单据由多式联运承运人签发，也包括全程运输但多种运输方式中，可以不包含海洋运输。
