The national transport right is regulated since the standardization by the transport right reform law (from the 6/25/1998) in the essentials in §§407 following HGB. Beside the rights and duties the regulations contain special liability norms and special periods of limitation and exclusion terms are valid. The cargo right of the HGB is carrier independent, i.e. it finds use to the transportation of goods to country, on inland waters or with airplanes.
