What does TBB (To Be Billed) mean in logistics?

Short answer

A consignment for which freight is not collected at booking or delivery but billed later to an account customer, usually the consignor, on agreed credit terms.

The normal basis for corporate customers of Indian PTL carriers: LRs are marked "TBB" and freight is invoiced periodically, typically against PODs. Ask our desk how this applies to your consignment.
