Name: mehdik

As you know according to sub-Articles a.i. 19 ,20 and 21 of ucp 600 a transport documents must appear to be signed by the carrier or a named agent for or on behalf of the carrier or ...

What is difference between acting as an " Agent for " and acting as an "Agent on behalf " ?

Answer (from Kim Christensen)

Dear mehdik

Thanks for your question.

I am sure there is a legal difference - but in terms of the UCP 600 there is
none.

I would note also that such question would be better asked to a lawyer.

Best regards
Kim
