第七章 運送取扱営業
Chapter VII Freight Forwarding Business
Article 559Definitions
The term "freight forwarder" as used in this Chapter means a person in the business of commissioning the transportation of goods in its own name.
この章において「運送取扱人」とは、自己の名をもって物品運送の取次ぎをすることを業とする者をいう。
Unless otherwise provided in this Chapter, the provisions on commission merchants prescribed in Article 551 apply mutatis mutandis to freight forwarders.
Article 560Liability of Freight Forwarders
If, between the receipt of goods and their delivery to the consignee, those goods are lost or damaged or something occurs that causes them to be lost or damaged, or if their arrival is delayed, a freight forwarder is liable to compensate for the resulting loss or damage; provided, however, that this does not apply if a freight forwarder proves that it did not neglect to exercise due care in performing acts in commissioning the transportation, such as the receipt, storage, or delivery of the goods, or the choice of carrier.
Article 561Remuneration for Freight Forwarders
A freight forwarder may claim remuneration immediately upon delivery of the goods to a carrier.
If the amount of freight charges is specified in a freight forwarding contract, the freight forwarder may not claim any additional remuneration separately unless there is a special agreement to the contrary.
運送取扱契約で運送賃の額を定めたときは、運送取扱人は、特約がなければ、別に報酬を請求することができない。
Article 562Freight Forwarder's Right of Retention
A freight forwarder may retain goods only against the remuneration, ancillary costs, and freight charges and other such money advanced which are receivable for the goods, until the freight forwarder is paid for these in full.
運送取扱人は、運送品に関して受け取るべき報酬、付随の費用及び運送賃その他の立替金についてのみ、その弁済を受けるまで、その運送品を留置することができる。
Article 563Right of Intervention
A freight forwarder may transport goods personally. In this case, the freight forwarder has the same rights and obligations as a carrier.
If a freight forwarder prepares a bill of lading or multimodal bill of lading at the request of a consignor, the freight forwarder is deemed to transport the goods personally.
運送取扱人が委託者の請求によって船荷証券又は複合運送証券を作成したときは、自ら運送をするものとみなす。
Article 564Application Mutatis Mutandis of Provisions on Transportation of Goods
The provisions of Article 572, Article 577, Article 579 (excluding paragraph (3)), Article 581, Article 585, Article 586, Article 587 (limited to the parts concerning the application mutatis mutandis of the provisions of Article 577 and 585), and Article 588 apply mutatis mutandis to the freight forwarding business. In this case, the term "preceding carrier" in Article 579, paragraph (2) is deemed to be replaced with "preceding freight forwarder or carrier," and the phrase "goods are delivered" in Article 585, paragraph (1) is deemed to be replaced with "goods are delivered to the consignee.".
