The Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road was concluded on May 19, 1956 in Geneva and defines the rights and obligations of the contracting parties in road transport. CMR or international waybill is a contract of carriage. Its absence, however, does not mean that the contract does not exist and does not invalidate the provisions of the CMR Convention. Within the scope of the CMR convention, three subjects appear: the sender of the goods, the carrier and the recipient of the goods.

The waybill in international air transport (Air Waybill) is issued by the airline for each shipment separately and cannot be issued for the entire vehicle. The mandatory content of the AWB is regulated by protocol, and IATA (International Air Transport Association) has established its uniformity.

Bill of lading is a confirmation that the carrier has received the specified goods for sea transport. A specificity of the bill of lading is that it is a security, that is, the holder of the bill of lading is also the owner of the goods. There are several divisions of bills of lading, and a special group consists of group bills of lading.

The International Rail Consignment Note is the carrier's confirmation that it has accepted the goods marked on it for transport. The original waybill accompanies the goods on their way, and the forwarding agent receives a certified copy. A waybill can be issued for the entire train, if it is a block train, and each wagon carries a separate waybill for that wagon.

They include 11 parities, i.e. legally regulated and clearly defined rules on the key points of logistics processes. The parities define the obligations of the seller and the buyer in terms of costs, risks and insurance of the goods, and four of the parities specifically refer to water transport.
