If a bill of lading was not issued by the terminal or bulk plant, the transporter shall issue for each shipment, a bill of lading indicating South Dakota as the destination state. A copy of all diversion tickets and bills of lading prepared by the transporter shall be provided to the department in a manner required by the department before the fuel is imported.
