什么是Road transport documents？什么是CMR？

公路运输单证-Road transport documents
These can be a simple document issued on the letterhead of the carrier, or, as is the case for consignments within Europe, a more formal document known as a CMR (Convention Relative au Contrat de Transport International de Marchandises par Route). These are not negotiable documents.

Insurance contract under a CMR
Transport insurance is included in a CMR, but compensation in case of damage is only applicable if the carrier’s liability is engaged. The compensation is based on the weight of the cargo, not on the value.

Therefore, the loss of ten tonnes of computer material is indemnified the same way as ten tonnes of potatoes – and there is no compensation at all should the truck be involved in an accident and the truck driver’s liability is not engaged.

The full text of the CMR-convention is available at Lex Mercatoria.
