Definitions and index of definitions.
(1) In this Article, unless the context otherwise requires:
(a) "Bailee" means the person who by a warehouse receipt, bill of
lading or other document of title acknowledges possession of goods and
contracts to deliver them.
(b) "Consignee" means the person named in a bill to whom or to whose
order the bill promises delivery.
(c) "Consignor" means the person named in a bill as the person from
whom the goods have been received for shipment.
(d) "Delivery order" means a written order to deliver goods directed
to a warehouseman, carrier or other person who in the ordinary course of
business issues warehouse receipts or bills of lading.
(e) "Document" means document of title as defined in the general
definitions in Article 1 (Section 1‑‑201).
(f) "Goods" means all things which are treated as movable for the
purposes of a contract of storage or transportation.
(g) "Issuer" means a bailee who issues a document except that in
relation to an unaccepted delivery order it means the person who orders the
possessor of goods to deliver. Issuer includes any person for whom an agent
or employee purports to act in issuing a document if the agent or employee
has real or apparent authority to issue documents, notwithstanding that the
issuer received no goods or that the goods were misdescribed or that in any
other respect the agent or employee violated his instructions.
(h) "Warehouseman" is a person engaged in the business of storing
goods for hire. The owner of a self‑service storage facility as defined
in the Self‑Service Storage Facility Act, enacted by the Eighty‑Third General
Assembly, is not a warehouseman for the purposes of this Article.

(810 ILCS 5/7‑104) (from Ch. 26, par. 7‑104)
Sec. 7‑104.
Negotiable and non‑negotiable warehouse receipt, bill of lading or other
document of title.
(1) A warehouse receipt, bill of lading or other document of title is
negotiable
(a) if by its terms the goods are to be delivered to bearer or to the
order of a named person; or
(b) where recognized in overseas trade, if it runs to a named person
or assigns.
(2) Any other document is non‑negotiable. A bill of lading in which it
is stated that the goods are consigned to a named person is not made
negotiable by a provision that the goods are to be delivered only against a
written order signed by the same or another named person.
