Warehousing

Warehousing and goods storage encompass diverse scenarios that require careful legal assessment. The nature of storage, whether it's connected to imminent transportation or intended for long-term safekeeping, determines the applicable legal framework. In situations where storage is tied to imminent transport, the CMR Convention's jurisdiction comes into play. However, when goods are stored for extended periods, the scope of the CMR does not extend. Instead, the legal foundation shifts to the national law, often guided by storage agreements and accompanying general terms and conditions.

At ITL Attorneys, we specialize in providing precise guidance within this complex landscape. Our legal experts understand the significance of accurate categorization and offer tailored advice accordingly. Whether you require insights on adhering to CMR regulations for transportation-linked storage or interpreting national laws for extended warehousing, our team is well-equipped to assist you.
