Abstract

The specifics of the contract of carriage of goods and its difference from other types of contracts used in the sale of goods and services are considered. Application of the contract of carriage of goods for the regulation of large-scale and long-term relations, and also relations between the branches of the economy and the regions of the country are considered. This is of practical importance and is necessary due to the fact that the specifically dedicated norms are applied to each contract along with the norms common to all sales contracts. At the same time, the legal characteristic of economic contract depends not only on the name assigned to it by the parties but also on those rights and obligations that the parties have determined in the contract. However, the functions performed and the role of each of the types of transport contracts cannot be unambiguous. In the article, the factors affecting the transport service of international business transactions are considered.
