A consignee is the individual or entity to whom goods are shipped and delivered. They are the receiver of a shipment, but not necessarily the owner. Ownership usually transfers to the consignee after they accept the goods according to the terms of a consignment agreement.

• Role: The consignee is responsible for accepting delivery of the goods at the destination.
• Responsibility: Verifying the shipment against the shipping documents and reporting any discrepancies or damages.

The consignee is a critical party in the shipping and logistics process, ensuring that goods reach their intended destination.
