Forwarding contract

(1) By virtue of the forwarding contract, the forwarder is obliged to arrange for the dispatch of the goods.

(2) The sender is obliged to pay the agreed remuneration.

(3) The provisions of this Division apply only if dispatching goods is part of the operation of a commercial enterprise. If the nature or size of the enterprise is such that it does not require a commercial business organisation, and if the firm is not registered in the Commercial Register in accordance with section 2, then the provisions of Division 1 of Book 4 additionally will apply to the forwarding business; however, this does not apply to sections 348 to 350.
