International Freight Forwarding Agreement
So now you have drafted your transport agency contract. It covers all services and responsibilities. You are confident and legally bound to your partner. How long did it take me to enter the signing phase? Most likely, more than you would have liked. International conventions on shipping services and their general conditions For this reason, the shipping contract usually contains clauses stipulating that any delay in the delivery of the goods is beyond the control of the freight forwarder and that he is not responsible for losses caused by the delay. Since it covers all possible trade and labor procedures, the agreement can be used: Joint implementation of the general conditions and framework agreements As explained above, the freight forwarder is involved in various aspects of the transport process, the advice and organization of the mode of transport and the carrier that will transport the goods, assistance with customs and regulatory requirements, planning the storage of goods. Merchandise. The import and export of stocks is the cornerstone of many companies involved in the production and distribution of goods both nationally and internationally. Without this type of agreement, companies only have to rely on national and international laws, regulations and conventions. As mentioned earlier, there are international regulations that already protect carriers. However, the shipping contract provides additional legal support in the event of a conflict between the contractors. A freight forwarding contract sometimes allows a freight forwarder to take a “lien” on its customers` goods for any amount the customer owes to the carrier.
This means that the freight forwarder can take charge of and dispose of the customer`s goods if the customer does not face a debt of the customer to the carrier. They should also provide clear data on when the agreement will enter into force or lose its legal power. As well as how to make changes. In the event of unforeseen events, the parties must have clear ground rules. And this is a common point for any legal agreement. If for some reason a party does not meet expectations, they will know how to deal with them. Hiring a freight forwarder is not absolutely necessary when transporting goods from one destination to another. However, because the import and export process is highly regulated and can be complex, many companies choose a freight forwarder to relieve the stress of transporting goods to the next destination.

However, some important points are common to all. You can`t be everywhere at the same time. That`s why freight forwarders use agency contracts. That`s how they – and you – get help during this process. Since organizing each stage of a container`s journey can not only be exhausting, but also time-consuming. With a shipping contract, you`re well on your way to saving time and becoming more efficient. Under this part of the agreement, the parties must clarify and agree on what happens in the event of a breach of contract. Are you going to renegotiate? Does someone have to pay fines? Are the organizations involved in the resolution process? The document should address all these issues. Framework agreements are used to define any additional conditions. These agreements are drawn up on the basis of the general conditions as well as existing international conventions for the carriage of goods. In cases where certain types of goods are transported, in particular where they are oversized or where the goods fall within the competence of certain framework agreements, undertakings which are members of the European transport network may add agreements by including additional provisions and clauses governing the carriage of certain goods and goods.
Note 1: There is no form of transport agency contract suitable for all scenarios. All of them are different to fit the business it covers. The agreement between two carriers and the services they provide to each other are different from those provided by a freight forwarder and a broker. Framework contracts duly regulate shipments supplied by freight forwarders according to geographical regions, seasons and other specific conditions and specificities of different shipping services. However, the agreement generally requires the carrier to do its best to comply with the delivery schedules agreed between the parties and to minimize the impact of problems that arise along the way. A transport agency contract is a complex long-term contract. It is usually signed between two carriers or another company that gives the carrier responsibility for freight forwarding services. In order to comply with the carrier`s obligation imposed by the “Iarovaia Anti-Terrorism Legislative Regulation” to verify the cargo description, PJSC TransContainer has the right to perform this verification.
In this case, we have developed a mobile application for the photographic detection of loaded cargo. Liability for damage to the description of the charge is established. As a rule, payment is due at the time indicated on the carrier`s invoice to the customer. In the event of late payment, interest is often charged by the carrier, and third-party fees incurred by the carrier are usually charged to the customer. On the other hand, Party B may be obliged to provide schedules for shipping, to book shipping space with the carrier or its representative within a certain number of days (which is specified in the contract). The party should make arrangements for the bill of lading and so on. That is a very important part. Because here the companies describe in detail the services they provide to each other.
It aims to reflect and determine the scope of the agreement. For example, will the agreement cover both LCL and FCL`s ocean freight movements? Are some services outsourced? Based on the general conditions for the different types of transport services provided by freight forwarders throughout Europe, better and more accurate offers for the shipment of different goods and cargoes can be generated for customers. .
