Enter the gross weight of the damaged or lost cargo to get the road carrier's indicative liability limit, international (CMR) or Spanish domestic (LCTTM).
Indicative result. The SDR→EUR conversion uses the IMF's daily valuation, dated in the result; the legally applicable conversion date depends on each regime and is stated for the selected mode.
In international carriage, the CMR Convention caps compensation for loss or damage at 8.33 Special Drawing Rights (SDR) per kilogram of gross weight (Art. 23.3), plus a refund of the carriage charges (Art. 23.4). In Spanish domestic carriage, Law 15/2009 (LCTTM) sets the limit at one third of the daily IPREM per kilogram (Art. 57.1) — with the 2026 IPREM (€20.00/day), €6.67/kg — plus a refund of freight and expenses (Art. 58).
The SDR is the IMF's unit of account and its euro value changes daily; the CMR requires conversion into the currency of the court at the date of judgment or at a date agreed by the parties (Art. 23.7).
No: in addition to the per-kilo limit, the CMR requires a refund of freight, customs duties and other charges (Art. 23.4); the Spanish LCTTM provides the equivalent refund in Art. 58.
Yes, in two main scenarios: a special declaration of value in the consignment note, or wilful misconduct or equivalent default by the carrier.
One year as a general rule (three years in international carriage where wilful misconduct or equivalent default is found; two years in Spanish domestic carriage). A written claim suspends the time bar while it has not been rejected in writing, subject to certain requirements.
