The Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR)
governs international road carriage when the place of taking over and the place of
delivery are in two countries that are party to the convention. India is not a CMR
contracting state, but CMR may apply on legs into Nepal or Bangladesh if the contract
or route invokes it.

**Consignment Note:** The CMR consignment note is the contract of carriage. It must be
completed accurately; errors can affect liability and claims. Standard clauses on
limitation of liability apply when the note is used correctly.

**Liability:** The carrier is liable for loss, damage, or delay except in defined
circumstances (e.g. inherent vice, consignor fault). Claims must be made within the
time limits set in the convention.

**Practical Use:** When we carry cross-border loads, ensure the waybill or consignment
note meets CMR requirements if the contract so specifies, and that drivers carry the
correct documents at borders.
