Forwarding business to firm costs (S.A. fixed costs) one calls the transport of goods in a cost framework specified before. Most forwarding contracts are fixed cost contracts, whereby a firm sentence per kilogram dispatch property is usually negotiated. These agreements close carriers with your larger customers at long-term co-operation to secure. The customer as senders has usually still another legal interest in these agreements, because the carrier has the rights and obligations of a carrier/a shipper during the transport. These rights and obligations orient themselves - in Germany - at the commercial code (HGB), the ADSp = general one German carrier conditions in addition, - in the extensive sense - at the GFT = long-distance haulage tariff.

Definitions

Amount in "€ for each unit of weight (e.g.: Kg od t)

In accordance with the legal interpretation is called: The price-fixing arrangment covers the range from the house of the sender (usually manufacturers or dealers) up to the house of the receiver; therefore the law of carriage is to use - thus also for all activities of the carrier for the entire capacity range.

Adhesion regulations

The ADSp (passage regulation: ) Follows 2-40 SZR/kg another understanding: The localization of the damage place is crucial, i.e. depending upon where the damage developed, applies following remunerations:

-; For damage on the envelope plant (Frachthalle, yard, etc.) of the carrier =Haftung with 5, - "€ per kg of commodity. Crucially here it is also that the commodity does not stand on a driving vehicle.

-; For damage during transport is the minimum adhesion (for Germany) develops for 8.33 SZR per kg of commodity. A maximum adhesion is contractually usual and with up to 40 SZR/kg possible. Explanation: SZR = special drawing rights, which represent their own value in each country as "“universal currency"” (see articles SZR).

With the employment of a strange carrier (more =Subunternehmer) thereafter the higher adhesion is to meet the carrier after the HGB whenever it can make for his part this higher adhesion in the recourse way valid at the assigned subcontractor.

Different systematics of the law works become clear also in their formulation:

The HGB speaks here of: "“"… Regarding the transport of the goods. "”, thus generally. Whereby the ADSp is expressed more exactly: "“"… the damage to the property during transport with conveyance"” occurred (whereby machines such as fork-lift trucks or elevating truck platforms a conveyance here in the sense of the ADSp are not). Requirement for commission only if agrees; Replacement of its expenditures only so far usually
