Article 349 A contract of transportation by land or water ways of any kind shall be
considered commercial:

1.
2.

When it has for its object merchandise or any Article of commerce.

When, whatever its object may be, the carrier is a merchant or is habitually
engaged in transportation for the public.
Article 350 The shipper as well as the carrier of merchandise or goods may mutually
demand that a bill of lading be made, stating:

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.
8.
9.

The name, surname and residence of the shipper.

The name, surname and residence of the carrier.
The name, surname and residence of the person to whom or to whose order the
goods are to be sent or whether they are to be delivered to the bearer of said bill.
The description of the goods, with a statement of their kind, of their weight, and
of the external marks or signs of the packages in which they are contained.
The cost of transportation.
The date on which shipment is made.
The place of delivery to the carrier.
The place and the time at which delivery to the consignee shall be made.

The indemnity to be paid by the carrier in case of delay, if there should be any
agreement on this matter.
Article 351 In transportation made by railroads or other enterprises subject to regulation rate
and time schedules, it shall be sufficient for the bills of lading or the declaration of shipment
furnished by the shipper to refer, with respect to the cost, time and special conditions of the
carriage, to the schedules and regulations the application of which he requests; and if the
shipper does not determine the schedule, the carrier must apply the rate of those which appear
to be the lowest, with the conditions inherent thereto, always including a statement or
reference to in the bill of lading which he delivers to the shipper.
Article 352 The bills of lading, or tickets in cases of transportation of passengers, may be
diverse, some for persons and others for baggage; but all of them shall bear the name of the
carrier, the date of shipment, the points of departure and arrival, the cost, and, with respect to
the baggage, the number and weight of the packages, with such other manifestations which
may be considered necessary for their easy identification.
Article 353 The legal evidence of the contract between the shipper and the carrier shall be
the bills of lading, by the contents of which the disputes which may arise regarding their
execution and performance shall be decided, no exceptions being admissible other than those
of falsity and material error in the drafting.
After the contract has been complied with, the bill of lading which the carrier has issued shall
be returned to him, and by virtue of the exchange of this title with the thing transported, the
respective obligations and actions shall be considered cancelled, unless in the same act the
claim which the parties may wish to reserve be reduced to writing, with the exception of that
provided for in Article 366.
In case the consignee, upon receiving the goods, cannot return the bill of lading subscribed by
the carrier, because of its loss or of any other cause, he must give the latter a receipt for the
goods delivered, this receipt producing the same effects as the return of the bill of lading.
Article 354 In the absence of a bill of lading, disputes shall be determined by the legal
proofs which the parties may present in support of their respective claims, according to the
general provisions established in this Code for commercial contracts.
Article 355 The responsibility of the carrier shall commence from the moment he receives
the merchandise, personally or through a person charged for the purpose, at the place indicated
for receiving them.
Article 356 Carriers may refuse packages which appear unfit for transportation; and if the
carriage is to be made by railway, and the shipment is insisted upon, the company shall
transport them, being exempt from all responsibility if its objections, is made to appear in the
bill of lading.
Article 357 If by reason of well-founded suspicion of falsity in the declaration as to the
contents of a package the carrier should decide to examine it, he shall proceed with his
investigation in the presence of witnesses, with the shipper or consignee in attendance.
If the shipper or consignee who has to be cited does not attend, the examination shall be made
before a notary, who shall prepare a memorandum of the result of the investigation, for such
purposes as may be proper.
If the declaration of the shipper should be true, the expense occasioned by the examination
and that of carefully repacking the packages shall be for the account of the carrier and in a
contrary case for the account of the shipper.
Article 358 If there is no period fixed for the delivery of the goods the carrier shall be bound
to forward them in the first shipment of the same or similar goods which he may make point
where he must deliver them; and should he not do so, the damages caused by the delay should
be for his account.
Article 359 If there is an agreement between the shipper and the carrier as to the road over
which the conveyance is to be made, the carrier may not change the route, unless it be by
reason of force majeure; and should he do so without this cause, he shall be liable for all the
losses which the goods he transports may suffer from any other cause, beside paying the sum
which may have been stipulated for such case.
When on account of said cause of force majeure, the carrier had to take another route which
produced an increase in transportation charges, he shall be reimbursed for such increase upon
formal proof thereof.
Article 360 The shipper, without changing the place where the delivery is to be made, may
change the consignment of the goods which he delivered to the carrier, provided that at the
time of ordering the change of consignee the bill of lading signed by the carrier, if one has
been issued, be returned to him, in exchange for another wherein the novation of the contract
appears.
The expenses which this change of consignment occasions shall be for the account of the
shipper.

Article 361 [The merchandise shall be transported at the risk and venture of the shipper, if
the contrary has not been expressly stipulated.
As a consequence, all the losses and deteriorations which the goods may suffer during the
transportation by reason of fortuitous event, force majeure, or the inherent nature and defect of
the goods, shall be for the account and risk of the shipper.
Proof of these accidents is incumbent upon the carrier.]
Article 362 Nevertheless, the carrier shall be liable for the losses and damages resulting
from the causes mentioned in the preceding Article if it is proved, as against him, that they
arose through his negligence or by reason of his having failed to take the precautions which
usage has established among careful persons, unless the shipper has committed fraud in the
bill of lading, representing the goods to be of a kind or quality different from what they really
were.
If, notwithstanding the precautions referred to in this article, the goods transported run the risk
of being lost, on account of their nature or by reason of unavoidable accident, there being no
time for their owners to dispose of them, the carrier may proceed to sell them, placing them
for this purpose at the disposal of the judicial authority or of the officials designated by special
provisions.
Article 363 Outside of the cases mentioned in the second paragraph of Article 361, the
carrier shall be obliged to deliver the goods shipped in the same condition in which, according
to the bill of lading, they were found at the time they were received, without any damage or
impairment, and failing to do so, to pay the value which those not delivered may have at the
point and at the time at which their delivery should have been made.
If those not delivered form part of the goods transported, the consignee may refuse to receive
the latter, when he proves that he cannot make use of them independently of the others.
Article 364 If the effect of the damage referred to in Article 361 is merely a diminution in
the value of the goods, the obligation of the carrier shall be reduced to the payment of the
amount which, in the judgment of experts, constitutes such difference in value.
Article 365 If, in consequence of the damage, the goods are rendered useless for sale and
consumption for the purposes for which they are properly destined, the consignee shall not be
bound to receive them, and he may have them in the hands of the carrier, demanding of the
latter their value at the current price on that day.
If among the damaged goods there should be some pieces in good condition and without any
defect, the foregoing provision shall be applicable with respect to those damaged and the
consignee shall receive those which are sound, this segregation to be made by distinct and
separate pieces and without dividing a single object, unless the consignee proves the
impossibility of conveniently making use of them in this form.
The same rule shall be applied to merchandise in bales or packages, separating those parcels
which appear sound.
Article 366 Within the twenty-four hours following the receipt of the merchandise, the claim
against the carrier for damage or average be found therein upon opening the packages, may be
made, provided that the indications of the damage or average which gives rise to the claim
cannot be ascertained from the outside part of such packages, in which case the claim shall be
admitted only at the time of receipt.
After the periods mentioned have elapsed, or the transportation charges have been paid, no
claim shall be admitted against the carrier with regard to the condition in which the goods
transported were delivered.
Article 367 If doubts and disputes should arise between the consignee and the carrier with
respect to the condition of the goods transported at the time their delivery to the former is
made, the goods shall be examined by experts appointed by the parties, and, in case of
disagreement, by a third one appointed by the judicial authority, the results to be reduced to
writing; and if the interested parties should not agree with the expert opinion and they do not
settle their differences, the merchandise shall be deposited in a safe warehouse by order of the
judicial authority, and they shall exercise their rights in the manner that may be proper.
Article 368 The carrier must deliver to the consignee, without any delay or obstruction, the
goods which he may have received, by the mere fact of being named in the bill of lading to
receive them; and if he does not do so, he shall be liable for the damages which may be caused
thereby.
Article 369 If the consignee cannot be found at the residence indicated in the bill of lading,
or if he refuses to pay the transportation charges and expenses, or if he refuses to receive the
goods, the municipal judge, where there is none of the first instance, shall provide for their
deposit at the disposal of the shipper, this deposit producing all the effects of delivery without
prejudice to third parties with a better right.
Article 370 If a period has been fixed for the delivery of the goods, it must be made within
such time, and, for failure to do so, the carrier shall pay the indemnity stipulated in the bill of
lading, neither the shipper nor the consignee being entitled to anything else.
If no indemnity has been stipulated and the delay exceeds the time fixed in the bill of lading,
the carrier shall be liable for the damages which the delay may have caused.
Article 371 In case of delay through the fault of the carrier, referred to in the preceding
articles, the consignee may leave the goods transported in the hands of the former, advising
him thereof in writing before their arrival at the point of destination.
When this abandonment takes place, the carrier shall pay the full value of the goods as if they
had been lost or mislaid.
If the abandonment is not made, the indemnification for losses and damages by reason of the
delay cannot exceed the current price which the goods transported would have had on the day
and at the place in which they should have been delivered; this same rule is to be observed in
all other cases in which this indemnity may be due.
Article 372 The value of the goods which the carrier must pay in cases if loss or
misplacement shall be determined in accordance with that declared in the bill of lading, the
shipper not being allowed to present proof that among the goods declared therein there were
articles of greater value and money.
Horses, vehicles, vessels, equipment and all other principal and accessory means of
transportation shall be especially bound in favor of the shipper, although with respect to
railroads said liability shall be subordinated to the provisions of the laws of concession with
respect to the property, and to what this Code established as to the manner and form of
effecting seizures and attachments against said companies.
Article 373 The carrier who makes the delivery of the merchandise to the consignee by
virtue of combined agreements or services with other carriers shall assume the obligations of
those who preceded him in the conveyance, reserving his right to proceed against the latter if

he was not the party directly responsible for the fault which gave rise to the claim of the
shipper or consignee.
The carrier who makes the delivery shall likewise acquire all the actions and rights of those
who preceded him in the conveyance.
The shipper and the consignee shall have an immediate right of action against the carrier who
executed the transportation contract, or against the other carriers who may have received the
goods transported without reservation.
However, the reservation made by the latter shall not relieve them from the responsibilities
which they may have incurred by their own acts.
Article 374 The consignees to whom the shipment was made may not defer the payment of
the expenses and transportation charges of the goods they receive after the lapse of twentyfour hours following their delivery; and in case of delay in this payment, the carrier may
demand the judicial sale of the goods transported in an amount necessary to cover the cost of
transportation and the expenses incurred.
Article 375 The goods transported shall be especially bound to answer for the cost of
transportation and for the expenses and fees incurred for them during their conveyance and
until the moment of their delivery.
This special right shall prescribe eight days after the delivery has been made, and once
prescribed, the carrier shall have no other action than that corresponding to him as an ordinary
creditor.

Article 376 The preference of the carrier to the payment of what is owed him for the
transportation and expenses of the goods delivered to the consignee shall not be cut off by the
bankruptcy of the latter, provided it is claimed within the eight days mentioned in the
preceding article.
Article 377 The carrier shall be liable for all the consequences which may arise from his
failure to comply with the formalities prescribed by the laws and regulations of the public
administration, during the whole course of the trip and upon arrival at the point of destination,
except when his failure arises from having been led into error by falsehood on the part of the
shipper in the declaration of the merchandise. If the carrier has acted by virtue of a formal
order of the shipper or consignee of the merchandise, both shall become responsible.
Article 378 Agents for transportation shall be obliged to keep a special registry, with the
formalities required by Article 36, in which all the goods the transportation of which is
undertaken shall be entered in consecutive order of number and dates, with a statement of the
circumstances required in Article 350 and others following for the respective bills of lading.
Article 379 The provisions contained in Articles 349 and following shall be understood as
equally applicable to those who, although they do not personally effect the transportation of
the merchandise, contract to do so through others, either as contractors for a particular and
definite operation, or as agents for transportations and conveyances.
In either case they shall be subrogated in the place of the carriers themselves, with respect to
the obligations and responsibility of the latter, as well as with regard to their rights.
