Unlike general terms and conditions, transport conditions set out the specific parameters of a freight movement: which services are included, who bears the costs, where risk transfers, and what deadlines apply. Typical elements cover freight rates, surcharges, liability limits, packaging requirements, and pickup and delivery terms. While Incoterms such as CIF or DAP establish the principal cost and risk allocation between buyer and seller, transport conditions add operational detail—dangerous goods requirements, terminal handling procedures, cut-off times. They form a core component of any forwarding or carriage agreement and directly shape pricing on both sides.
