CMR
International Waybill for Carriage of Goods by Road
Among numerous conventions that regulate the business of international haulers, first comes the Convention on the Contract for the International Carriage of Goods by Road (CMR Convention) dated 19 May 1956, concluded under the Economic Commission for Europe with the United Nations. Republic of Bulgaria joined the convention on 29 July 1977 by virtue of the then issued Ordinance №1143.

TIR Carnet
TIR CARNET is an international transport warranty document. It covers payable customs duties up to 50 000 US dollars. The document is issued by virtue of the international TIR convention under the guarantee provided by the duly authorized organizations. The international organisation is IRU – the International Road Union and for Bulgaraia it is AEBTRI – Association of the Bulgarian Enterprises for International Road Transport and the Roads.
In practice, the TIR carnet is an internationally accepted document for transit of goods. It is under the coverage of the guarantee extended by the issuing organization. According to this convention, goods are carried in vehicles and containers on which customs stamps and seals have been put. It is necessary that said vehicles should be approved according to the methods set out in the Convention first and to hold a valid Certificate of Customs Compliance.

Incoterms
The purpose of INCOTERMS is to provide the framework of international rules for interpretation of most commonly used commercial terms in international trade. As a result different interpretations of such terms in different countries can be avoided or at least greatly reduced.
In order to avoid misunderstandings between the contracting parties and to facilitate their negotiations, the International Chamber of Commerce in Paris adopted in 1936 unified International Rules for the Interpretation of Trade Terms, known as Incoterms (Abbreviated for International Commercial Terms). For each franking, the delivery obligations of the seller and the buyer are described in details on several pages.
