CMR Convention


Convention on the International Carriage of Goods by Road - Convention signed in 1956 in Geneva. It applies in the case of commercial road transport of goods in international relations. It is imperative that the country of destination or the country of destination is a party to the CMR Convention. It applies only to carriage provided on the basis of an umbrella and trailer carriage contract.

The CMR Convention is based on the CMR transport note, which is issued in three identical copies, each of which has the same legal force. The signature must include the signature of the carrier and the sender. The sender receives the first copy, the next recipient, and the third one belongs to the carrier. Occasionally, a fourth copy, called a black copy, is provided for statistical purposes. The CMR does not apply to postage, postage, and resettlement.

The CMR consignment note contains a number of necessary data for the carriage of goods, including the place and date of issue of the document, the name and address of the consignor, the carrier and the consignee, the place and date of receipt of the goods to be transported, the type of goods and the way of packaging, number of items, their characteristics and numbers and gross weight. In addition, it is necessary to specify the cost of transport and the instructions necessary for customs and other formalities. The letter must state that the carriage is subject to the provisions of the CMR, regardless of any contrary clause. In case of necessity, the CMR should contain additional information, such as a ban on transshipment, the costs that the consignee accepts, the amount of the picking up at the issue of the goods, the declared value of the goods, the consignor's instructions for the insurance against the consignment, as well as a list of documents handed over to the carrier. Apart from all the above data, the parties are free to make any other data they deem necessary. The carrier shall bear the costs or damage suffered by the carrier, which is caused by the lack of sufficient information contained in the consignment note.
