Carrier Liability in International Road Transport According to CMR

Summary/Abstract: The CMR provides a predictable system of liability for carriers and insurance to both carriers and their clients about the risks involved in the shipment of goods. CMR Convention establishes a strict liability regime for the carrier, meaning that the carrier is generally liable for any loss, damage or delay of the goods from the time they take the goods into custody until delivery. According to CMR provisions, this liability is limited to a fixed amount per kilogram of gross weight lost or damaged. Even if there is a limited amount, the loss, damage or the delay of the goods can lead to substantial claims. CMR insurance mitigate the financial risks associated with this liability, playing thus a crucial role in international road transport.
