CMRlähete

CMRlähete is a Finnish term that translates to "CMR consignment note" or "CMR waybill." It refers to a document used in international road transport of goods between countries that are signatories to the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road, also known as the CMR Convention.

The CMR consignment note serves as a receipt for the goods, a contract of carriage between the sender, the carrier, and the recipient, and proof of the conditions of the contract. It contains essential information such as the names and addresses of the sender, carrier, and recipient, details of the goods being transported (nature, weight, number of packages), place and date of taking over the goods, place of delivery, and the agreed transport charges.

The CMR consignment note is a crucial document for facilitating international road freight. It helps to clarify responsibilities and liabilities among the parties involved and simplifies customs procedures. Each party typically receives a copy of the document. In cases of dispute, the CMR consignment note provides evidence of the agreed terms and conditions of the carriage.
