§12A-2-505.
(1) Where the seller has identified goods to the contract by or before
shipment:
(a) his procurement of a negotiable bill of lading to his own order or
otherwise reserves in him a security interest in the goods. His
procurement of the bill to the order of a financing agency or of the
buyer indicates in addition only the seller's expectation of
transferring that interest to the person named.
(b) a nonnegotiable bill of lading to himself or his nominee reserves
possession of the goods as security but except in a case of
conditional delivery (subsection (2) of Section 2-507) a nonnegotiable
bill of lading naming the buyer as consignee reserves no security
interest even though the seller retains possession of the bill of
lading.
(2) When shipment by the seller with reservation of a security
interest is in violation of the contract for sale it constitutes an
improper contract for transportation within the preceding section but
impairs neither the rights given to the buyer by shipment and
identification of the goods to the contract nor the seller's powers as
a holder of a negotiable document.
