It is often not known to businesses that use logistics services, i.e. shippers who have had no previous disputes over damage, loss or delay in delivery, that the civil liability of the carrier is limited by the provisions of the Convention on the International Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR).
