Carriage Agreement
"What is the liability of the carrier for damaged goods?"
Quick Answer
An agreement where the carrier undertakes to safely transport goods or passengers from one place to another, and the sender agrees to pay the freight (carriage fee) in return.
Scope and Legal Distinctions
Identify the transport mode before choosing the liability regime. Domestic road carriage, international road carriage, sea and air transport may follow different statutory or treaty rules.
What to Check in Practice
Retain the carriage document, delivery reservations, damage photographs and notice dates. The sales contract's risk allocation does not alone decide the carrier's liability.
