Standard contract for transportation. Documentation of transport services

Many business entities that do not have their own fleet regularly use the services of transport companies or individual entrepreneurs. Some of them conclude, after which they introduce a new employee to their staff. Regardless of which mode of cooperation they have chosen, freight transportation services must be documented.

When transporting goods for various purposes, there are always problems that the parties often have to resolve in court. They can minimize the risk of disagreements if they provide for all possible nuances when drawing up the contract. Such agreements differ from standard documents, for example, from either a contract for the supply of goods. That is why, before drawing up such a document, it is necessary to get advice from a lawyer who knows all the "pitfalls" of such transactions.

When do you need to document the services for the transportation of goods?

Currently, such a line of business as business has become very popular among business entities. Many individuals, instead of starting to provide services to the public and various companies related to the delivery of goods. It should be noted that the procedure for moving goods through the territory of the Russian Federation and beyond is regulated by relevant laws. They must be documented without fail, and contracts are concluded between the parties to the transaction.

Agreements of the established form must be drawn up when moving goods by the following modes of transport:

• automobile;
• railway;
• air;
• maritime.

Advice: Today, many companies and individual entrepreneurs work with clients under independently developed contracts. That is why customers need to be extremely careful, since the performers in such agreements primarily observe their own interests.

What are the benefits of using the services of transport companies?

Many business entities deliberately use the services of carrier companies. This is primarily due to the fact that they do not want to face a lot of problems associated with maintaining their own fleet. For its formation, huge amounts of money are needed, which some organizations simply do not have. With the maintenance and service of cars, there are always various problems. Cars must be constantly repaired, their technical condition should be diagnosed, refueled, etc. At the same time, to drive one truck, the company must create at least two staff positions (employees will have to pay wages on a regular basis).

Advice: it is worth noting that in order to form its own fleet, a company must have a territory that is fenced and protected. That is why many legal entities and individuals prefer to use the services of third-party organizations specializing in the transportation of goods.

What is a contract for the provision of services for the carriage of goods?

The contract for the transportation of goods is a document that confirms all the agreements reached between the parties, and also regulates all the nuances of the transaction. The transportation of goods can be carried out in various ways, which is why the relevant regulatory legal acts must be used when compiling the accompanying documentation.

When registering services for the transportation of goods, business entities must use the standards, laws and codes of the Russian Federation:

1. Civil Code.
2. Air Code.
3. Labor Code.
4. Code of Inland Water Transport, etc.

Advice: when drawing up contracts, the parties must necessarily take into account departmental and local regulations and orders that can cancel or supplement the norms existing in laws.

The contract, which is concluded by the parties for the provision of services for the transportation of goods, must take into account the obligations of the customer and the contractor. The document also stipulates their rights and liability for violation of the terms of the agreement. Regardless of whether a standard contract will be used or individually developed by the carrier, the document must fully comply with the regulations of the Federal Legislation of Russia.

Advice: in most cases, such contracts provide for liability for the party that violated the terms of the transaction. To prevent possible problems, it is recommended to transfer the text of the document to a lawyer for study.

What should a contract for the carriage of goods contain?

When drawing up a contract for the provision of cargo transportation services (a sample can be taken from a lawyer), the parties must include the following points in it:

1. Item. This paragraph should contain comprehensive information about the cargo (quantity, type of packaging, type of cargo, etc.). The parties indicate the exact details of the point of delivery and the terms that are set for transportation.
2. General provisions. General information is usually described here, various terms, main provisions and the duration of the contract are entered.
3. Calculations. This paragraph describes the cost of services, the procedure for making payments, payment terms, etc. The parties must indicate how the customer will settle with the contractor (prepayment, full payment, settlement after delivery of the goods).
4. Planning and implementation of transportation. This part of the contract is the most basic, since it is here that all the nuances of the upcoming transaction are described. The parties stipulate all possible nuances, describe the process of receiving the cargo and its storage, insurance details. If transportation will be carried out outside the Russian Federation, then there should be information about the need for customs clearance.
5. Rules and obligations (provided for each of the parties).
6. Responsibility. This part of the contract describes in detail the responsibility of each party for violation of its obligations. If material compensation for damage or penalties is provided, then the parties must describe everything in detail, up to the indication of interest rates and amounts of compensation payments.
7. Force Majeure. All possible situations that may cause a violation or non-fulfillment of the terms of the contract are described in detail.
8. Details of both parties. The full name, legal address, payment details and codes necessary for the preparation of documentation, etc. are indicated.
9. Signatures and seals.

Advice: the contract for the carriage of goods must indicate the license number of the carrier company, on the basis of which it carries out this type of activity. If the contractor does not have such a permit, then by providing transport services, he automatically violates the regulations of the Federal legislation, for which he will be brought to administrative and, possibly, criminal liability.

What features of the contract for the provision of transport services do you need to know?

The Federal legislation of Russia does not provide for the requirement for mandatory state or notary registration of contracts for the carriage of goods. Such an agreement will be considered officially concluded after the customer and the contractor put their signatures and seals on it. The interests of the parties can be represented by managers or their proxies (employees of enterprises that have such powers in accordance with accounting policies or are endowed with a special power of attorney).

In accordance with the regulations of the Federal legislation, in the event of disputes or any disagreements, the parties to the contract can resolve everything out of court. If in the process of negotiations they failed to find a compromise, the solution of the problem is transferred to the legal plane. It is worth noting that representatives of Themis will not consider the claim of the injured party until the pre-trial settlement procedure is carried out.

Legal aspects of such contracts

A contract for the carriage of goods is an agreement that the parties voluntarily concluded and executed on paper (Article 161 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). Despite the fact that Federal legislation does not require special certification of such contracts, if necessary, the parties can apply to a notary's office to obtain an appropriate mark. The document is drawn up in two copies, one for each party to the transaction.

The contractor is obliged to accept the goods from the customer for further transportation to the destination specified in the contract. Confirmation of the fact of acceptance of goods may be a bill of lading. This document indicates not only complete information about the carrier, customer and recipient, but also signs data on the transported cargo.

The contract for the carriage of goods is concluded on a reimbursable basis. If the customer of the service for some reason did not transfer money to the contractor, which violated the terms of the agreement, then it can be terminated by the carrier unilaterally. In this case, these actions will not have any legal consequences for the performer.

To avoid problems in the future, when drawing up a contract (a sample can be obtained from a notary's office), the parties must take into account the following points (they must be indicated in the document):

• who will carry out loading and unloading operations;
• registration of insurance;
• who will deliver and receive the cargo;
• cargo assessment;
• who is responsible for the theft or loss of cargo;
• package of accompanying documents;
• whether the cargo will have an escort, etc.

What nuances of a transport transaction should be taken into account in order not to have problems with the tax authorities?

Legal entities that use the services of carriers, in accordance with the regulations of the Federal legislation, may attribute all expenses incurred to the costs of the reporting period. Due to this, they reduce the tax base for income tax and VAT (if the carrier is a payer of this tax). Business entities can cooperate with both legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.

If a transaction with a carrier is planned, the customer must take into account the following point regarding its documentation:

1. An appropriate contract must be concluded with the contractor. Before signing it, the customer must check that he has a license (it is advisable to ask for a copy to attach it to the contract).
2. When making a transaction for the carriage of goods, a consignment note (in 4 copies) must be drawn up, a copy of this form is attached to the customer's account documents.
3. After the completion of the transport service, the contractor must submit the act to the customer for signing (in 2 copies, one for each party). If there are no claims under the transaction, the parties sign this document and certify it with seals.
4. The contract for the carriage of goods may be concluded on the basis of an order or application of the consignor. All created applications can be in paper or electronic form.

Advice: when documenting a transport service, a correctly drawn up consignment note is of great importance. In judicial practice, there are many cases when representatives of Themis consider such an invoice as the only document that can confirm the fact of a transaction.

A waybill can prove the fact of a transport service. This form is issued by the carrier company for each vehicle leaving the garage. With the help of the waybill, the company controls not only the vehicle, but also the driver, and writes off fuel on it. It can be issued by both legal entities and individual entrepreneurs. On the basis of waybills, the carrier company calculates wages for its drivers, calculates depreciation deductions, writes off fuel and lubricants, etc.

When calculating the cost of transport services, the carrier company must act in accordance with the established tariffs fixed in the accounting policy. In this case, the waybill will also act as a document confirming the fact and economic feasibility of payments for the performed transport service.

If a company ordered several transport services from one contractor in one month, then at the end of the month the parties can draw up an act of reconciliation of settlements. In this document, each of the parties reflects the following data:

• date of performance of the service;
• sum;
• date of payment;
• payment amount;
• account numbers.

If the parties agreed on the final figures, they sign the act. The signed act, in which the parties agreed to the existing balance at the end of the reporting period, can act as an evidence base if the injured party decides to file a claim for debt collection.

Advice: individual entrepreneurs who independently switched to the patent taxation regime, when providing transport services, may not have a license to carry out this type of activity. When concluding an agreement, the customer should ask

Contract for the carriage of goods - a document confirming the agreements reached by the parties on the carriage of a certain cargo.

Given the various modes of transportation that currently exist, as well as the specifics of the goods being moved, these relationships are regulated by various legislative acts.

These normative-legal acts may relate to various branches of law. The most important laws of our country pay special attention to the contract of carriage, they include such sets of norms as codes: the Air Code of the Russian Federation, the Code of Merchant Shipping of the Russian Federation, the Code of Inland Water Transport of the Russian Federation, the Civil Code of the Russian Federation, etc. Federal laws, by-laws, local and departmental orders and regulations may contain rules governing this area of ​​activity.

Legal rules for drawing up a contract

So, what do you need to know about the contract of carriage of goods? What are the main criteria that a contract must meet?

The contract in question is a voluntary written agreement of the parties, which can be drawn up both in a simple written form and have a notarized transaction. It is compiled in the form of one document, the number of copies equal to the number of persons involved in the transaction.

Confirmation of acceptance by the carrier of cargo for transportation may also be a bill of lading or another document that essentially replaces the contract for the supply of goods and confirms the existing obligations of the parties, their rights and obligations.

In some cases, the receipt of payment and the cash receipt will be documents that will indicate the conclusion of the contract, such cases include mail forwarding and other similar transactions.

Modern development of cargo transportation services

In this case, payment for the selected product in full will be a confirmation of not only the purchase of the product (cargo), but also the emergence of a relationship for its transportation.

This agreement has a reimbursable character. In case of non-payment for the ordered services, the contract may be recognized as terminated / not concluded and not have any legal consequences.

Carrier _________________

Customer _________________

Today, all business relationships must be legally certified. Any area of ​​business requires a serious approach, especially when it comes to the sale of goods. Not every manufacturer can supply goods to the market using their own transport, so they use the services of carriers. In order to avoid disputes, a contract for the carriage of goods must be drawn up.

This document guarantees the carrier and the employer the protection of their interests. There are many companies on the market that provide transportation services for various goods, both domestically and abroad. So what should be considered when drawing up a contract for the carriage of goods? What nuances should be discussed by both parties?

Why do you need to legalize the relationship?

Not every organization has transport to deliver the goods to the points of sale. Keeping your own transport is quite expensive, and sometimes it is more profitable to turn to transport companies for services. For these purposes, a special application for transportation is initially issued.

Such a primary document allows you to resolve all emerging issues before concluding a formal contract between the employer and the carrier.

The contract protects the rights of the employer and guarantees that the goods will be delivered on time, in full safety to the destination. Of course, it also takes into account the interests of the carrier. Thanks to the introduction of new rules and requirements in the law on transportation, the quality control of such services has increased, which has made it possible to bring them closer to international standards.

Preliminary application for a contract for transportation

The essential terms of the contract for the carriage of goods must be considered before concluding a final agreement between the parties. For these purposes, the legislation provides for the preparation of a preliminary document, which is known as an application for the carriage of goods.

Forming an application and drawing up a contract is an important stage in organizing the transportation of goods

An application for a contract for the carriage of goods by road will allow the carrier to receive all the necessary information and determine the final price for their services. What items should be indicated in the application:

• Necessary information about the transported goods. Its quantity, specific weight, equipment, quality characteristics. Even the price is indicated. Such information affects the final decision on the conclusion of the contract. After all, there are orders that require special conditions and transportation by a specific type of vehicle.
• specific delivery times. The carrier is guided by them when making a decision. Whether he has the ability to deliver a certain product to the selected destination just in time. For many goods, the shelf life is limited, and they are subject to rapid sale, for example, food.
• The application also indicates the form of responsibility for the transported goods. After all, the employer trusts his product, counting on its timely delivery. Therefore, specific recovery figures are also determined if the cargo was damaged or arrived late.
• If it is necessary to transport special goods that have explosive properties that require certain conditions for transportation, special clauses are drawn up in the agreement, which stipulates all the properties of the goods and the conditions necessary for transportation. Most special cargoes require special permits, which not every carrier has.
• The distance over which the goods are transported in kilometers, as well as the possible route.

All information provided affects the final decision when concluding the contract. All disputes are resolved within a month after sending the application to the shipping company.

Sample

There is a specific sample application, which indicates all the additional information. Later, the application is attached to the accompanying documents required for.

An example of a shipping request

There are two ways to apply for transportation:

• In the office of a company providing transportation services;
• Electronic version of the application. For those companies who can not drive to the office. This method is much more convenient and does not require additional costs, providing the opportunity to resolve all disputes electronically.

After all the nuances are settled between the employer and the transport company, a formal contract is concluded. The application is also drawn up and signed by the parties in two copies and is attached in addition to the contract.

If, after filling out the application form for the carriage of goods by road, the parties could not reach a mutually beneficial agreement, then after the expiration of the one-month validity period of the application, an official refusal of the services of the transport company is issued and the application loses its legal force.
