Transporting goods in bulk or cargo is a very important aspect of trade law, if not the most important. Many international transport conventions apply and making sense of these is not the easiest. Imagine cargo is damaged or lost during the transportation process of clothes made in India which are being transported to Europe? Who would be responsible for the damage or destruction done to the cargo? Assume that there is a leakage in the containers or the freight forwarder drives away and sells the goods elsewhere? These are all issues that need to be considered when considering transportation of goods. International conventions or Incoterms for transportation by air, rail, road or sea divide the responsibility and burdens very differently depending on the mode of transportation carried out to transport the goods. Furthermore, there are time-limits within which claims of damage can be brought and merely certain courts which may be addressed.
