claimable compensations resulting from international carriage of goods by the road

the most important obligation of the carrier of the goods is to deliver it safe, perfect and well timed to the destination. obviously the loss, missing and delay of the deliver of goods to the destination leads to carrier’s liability. in this paper we examine the calculating method of compensation and its maximum and its exceptions in international contracts that involved of cmr convention. criterion of calculating of the compensation resulting from missing and loss is the value of the goods at the place and time of delivery of them to carrier at which equals 8.33 sdr per one kilogram of good’s gross weight. also the maximum compensation resulting from the delay is equal to the fare of carriage. of course this maximum amount of compensation has not been regarded in these situations: the sender has noted a higher value for goods in the consignment, or has provided special interest about delivery of the goods in the consignment and also when carrier or his servants commit intentional misconduct or commit default equivalent to intentional misconduct.
