Introduction to CMR Agreement

In this section, Luis Miguel Valle introduces the CMR agreement, which is one of the most common agreements in international transport of goods. The CMR agreement regulates the international transport of merchandise between countries of origin and destination.

CMR Agreement and Consignment Note

• The CMR agreement was signed in 1956 and is adhered to by countries from different continents.

• The agreement requires at least one of the countries involved in the transport to have signed it.

• The CMR road merchandise agreement is formalized through a document called the CMR consignment note.

• The consignment note serves as proof that the carrier has taken over the goods and establishes a transport contract between two parties.

• The consignment note consists of three copies: one for the sender, one for the carrier, and one that accompanies the merchandise to the addressee.

Obligations and Rights of Parties

This section discusses the obligations and rights of both the shipper (sender) and carrier under the CMR agreement.

Obligations of Shipper and Carrier

• The shipper has an obligation to inform the carrier about where and how the merchandise will be loaded.

• If there are any changes or suspensions in loading conditions or locations, it is also the shipper's responsibility to inform the carrier.

• The carrier has an obligation to verify both the load and documentation accompanying it.

• The carrier is responsible for any delays, loss, or damage to the merchandise during transportation.

• Additionally, they are responsible for transporting not only the goods but also any accompanying documentation.

Application of CMR Agreement

This section explains when and how the CMR agreement applies, as well as exceptions to its application.

Application of CMR Agreement

• The CMR agreement applies when there is a loss, breakage, or damage to the merchandise during transportation through different means such as boat, train, or road.

• If it is known in which means of transport the incident occurred, the agreement specific to that means of transport will be applied.
