70A-2-505. Seller's shipment under reservation.
(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; and
(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 as provided in Subsection
70A-2-507(2), a nonnegotiable bill of lading naming the buyer as consignee reserves no security
interest even though the seller retains possession or control 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 of title.
