Once the goods arrive at the destination, or if all of the goods are lost, the consignee acquires the same rights as those of the shipper that have arisen based on a freight transportation contract.
荷受人は、運送品が到達地に到着し、又は運送品の全部が滅失したときは、物品運送契約によって生じた荷送人の権利と同一の権利を取得する。
In the case referred to in the preceding paragraph, if the consignee seeks the delivery of goods or files a claim for damage to goods, the shipper may not exercise those rights.
前項の場合において、荷受人が運送品の引渡し又はその損害賠償の請求をしたときは、荷送人は、その権利を行使することができない。
Once a consignee receives goods, the consignee bears the obligation to pay freight charges and other receivables to the carrier.

damages
損害賠償
Compensation for loss one person has caused another. A debtor who does not perform an obligation as it should be performed, or cannot perform it, must compensate the creditor for the loss that results, unless the failure comes from a cause the debtor is not responsible for, judged by the contract or other source of the obligation and by accepted views in dealings (Civil Code, Article 415, paragraph (1)); and a person who, intentionally or negligently, infringes another's rights or legally protected interests must compensate for the loss that results (Article 709). It is paid in money unless otherwise agreed (Articles 417 and 722, paragraph (1)), and the parties to a contract may agree in advance the amount due if it is not performed; a sum fixed for breach (違約金) is presumed to be such an agreement (Article 420, paragraphs (1) and (3)). The Consumer Contract Act makes void the part of such an amount in a consumer contract, for its cancellation, with any penalty added, above the average loss the business would suffer from the cancellation of consumer contracts of that kind, measured separately for each category the clause sets, such as the reason for and time of cancellation (Consumer Contract Act, Article 9, paragraph (1), item (i)).
