The CMR consignment note is a document under the CMR Convention (Geneva 1956), serving as evidence of the contract of carriage and of receipt of the goods. It is not a document of title or a negotiable instrument. Data is entered under article 6, the sender is responsible for its accuracy, and the note is usually issued in three copies.
What to enter under article 6
- Sender, consignee and carrier.
- Place and date of loading and the place of delivery.
- Description of the goods, number of packages, marks and weight.
- Three copies: for the sender, the consignee and the carrier.
