     § 7303.  Diversion; reconsignment; change of instructions.
        (a)  Proper instruction.--Unless the bill of lading otherwise
     provides, a carrier may deliver the goods to a person or
     destination other than that stated in the bill or may otherwise
     dispose of the goods, without liability for misdelivery, on
     instructions from:
            (1)  the holder of a negotiable bill;
            (2)  the consignor on a nonnegotiable bill even if the
        consignee has given contrary instructions;
            (3)  the consignee on a nonnegotiable bill in the absence
        of contrary instructions from the consignor if the goods have
        arrived at the billed destination or if the consignee is in
        possession of the tangible bill or in control of the
        electronic bill; or
            (4)  the consignee on a nonnegotiable bill if the
        consignee is entitled as against the consignor to dispose of
        the goods.
        (b)  Original terms.--Unless instructions described in
     subsection (a) are included in a negotiable bill of lading, a
     person to which the bill is duly negotiated may hold the bailee
     according to the original terms.
