shipping contract

Cargo transport deal

A shipping contract is a legal agreement governing the transportation of goods by sea, air, or land.

It specifies terms between shipper and carrier: what's being moved, where, when, and at what cost.

The contract allocates risk—who bears responsibility if cargo is damaged, delayed, or lost.

The shipping contract required delivery within 30 days.
