§12A-7-304.
   
   (1) Except where customary in overseas transportation, a bill of
   lading must not be issued in a set of parts. The issuer is liable for
   damages caused by violation of this subsection.
   
   (2) Where a bill of lading is lawfully drawn in a set of parts, each
   of which is numbered and expressed to be valid only if the goods have
   not been delivered against any other part, the whole of the parts
   constitute one bill.
   
   (3) Where a bill of lading is lawfully issued in a set of parts and
   different parts are negotiated to different persons, the title of the
   holder to whom the first due negotiation is made prevails as to both
   the document and the goods even though any later holder may have
   received the goods from the carrier in good faith and discharge the
   carrier's obligations by surrender of his part.
   
   (4) Any person who negotiates or transfers a single part of a bill of
   lading drawn in a set is liable to holders of that part as if it were
   the whole set.
   
   (5) The bailee is obliged to deliver in accordance with Part 4 of this
   article against the first presented part of a bill of lading lawfully
   drawn in a set. Such delivery discharges the bailee's obligation on
   the whole bill.
