In the event of damage, under Article 23(3) of the CMR Convention and the “limited liability principle”, our company is liable only up to 8.33 SDR (about €10) per kilogram of gross weight short of the damaged goods. If the loss, damage or delay was caused by circumstances which the carrier could not avoid despite taking the utmost care and the consequences of which it could not prevent (force majeure), the carrier cannot be held liable for the damage (CMR Convention, Article 17(2)). Likewise, the carrier is relieved of liability for damage caused by insufficient packing by the sender, or by faults in loading, unloading and securing carried out by the sender (CMR Convention, Article 17(4)(b) and (c)). To have your loss covered in full and not be left out of pocket in the event of damage, you need to take out “cargo insurance”.
