cargo liability

Cargo liability refers to the responsibility a carrier (like a shipping company) has for the goods they transport. If the cargo is lost, damaged, or stolen during transit, the carrier may be held financially accountable, depending on the circumstances and applicable laws or contracts. Liability limits and conditions vary, but the core idea is that carriers are responsible for ensuring the safe delivery of cargo, and they may need to compensate the owner if something goes wrong, unless the damage is due to factors outside their control or specified exemptions.
