saatmiskirjed

Saatmiskirjed, often translated as consignment notes or shipping manifests, are essential documents used in the transportation and logistics industry. They serve as a legal contract between the shipper (the party sending the goods) and the carrier (the party transporting the goods). A saatmiskiri details the nature of the consignment, including the type of goods, quantity, weight, and destination. It also outlines the terms and conditions of the carriage, such as the agreed-upon price, delivery schedule, and any special handling instructions.

The primary purpose of a saatmiskiri is to provide proof of the agreement and to clearly define the responsibilities of each party involved. It acts as a receipt for the goods, confirming that the carrier has taken possession of them in good condition, unless otherwise noted. This document is crucial for tracking shipments, resolving disputes, and facilitating customs clearance in international trade. Typically, multiple copies are generated, with one retained by the shipper, one by the carrier, and one accompanying the goods to the consignee (the recipient). The information contained within a saatmiskiri is vital for efficient supply chain management and legal compliance.
