What is a CMR consignment note (carta de porte)?

The CMR is the legal document contracting the international road transport of goods, signed by sender, carrier and consignee. Mandatory UK-Spain since Brexit.

What information does the CMR require?

Sender, carrier and consignee details, cargo description, weight, origin and destination, delivery instructions, any declared value.

How many copies of a CMR do I need?

Four: one for sender, one for carrier, one for consignee, one archival copy.

What happens if I ship without a CMR?

Customs may hold the goods. Liability gaps appear if cargo is damaged. For UK-Spain traffic the CMR is non-negotiable.
