A CMR Waybill is a legal document used in international road transport under the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR), which outlines the agreement between the shipper and the carrier for transporting goods across international borders.
A CMR Waybill serves as a receipt for goods, a contract of carriage, and a proof of the terms agreed upon for the transport of goods. It is often used in road freight transportation and helps ensure that both the sender and the carrier are protected by a standardized legal framework. This document also acts as a reference for the terms under which the shipment is carried, including the delivery and liability conditions.
The CMR Waybill works by clearly defining the terms of transport between the shipper and the carrier, detailing the specific responsibilities of each party. It benefits your business by providing a legally binding document that ensures compliance with international transportation laws, helping to prevent disputes and enhance efficiency in logistics operations.
Using a CMR Waybill in your international shipments helps to protect your business from potential legal issues and ensures that goods are transported under clearly agreed terms.
