How to fill in a CMR consignment note

Boxes 1–4: who ships, who receives, where the goods are delivered and where/when the carrier took them over. These four boxes define the contract of carriage.
Boxes 5–12: attached documents and the goods themselves — marks, number of packages, packing, nature of goods, HS code, gross weight and volume. Weight and package count are what the carrier is liable for.
Boxes 13–15, 19–21: instructions for customs or temperature, who pays carriage, cash on delivery, special agreements (pallet exchange, waiting time), place and date of issue.
Boxes 16–18: the carrier, any successive carriers and the carrier's reservations — note visible damage or missing packages here before signing, or liability shifts to you.
Boxes 22–24: signatures and stamps of sender, carrier and consignee. The consignee's signature in box 24 is your proof of delivery (POD) — and the trigger for the invoice.

From a free form to a CMR that fills itself

Typing the same sender, consignee and goods into a form for every load is the paper era with better fonts. In CargoMind the CMR, the transport order PDF and the electronic CMR are generated from the order — which itself was read from the customer's e-mail or PDF by AI. The driver shows a QR code at the ramp, the consignee signs on their phone with a one-time PIN, and the signed note lands on the order as proof of delivery, where it drafts your invoice.

Never type a CMR again

CargoMind generates CMR and eCMR from every order, in 9 languages. 30 days free, no credit card — drivers always free.

Frequently asked questions

Is this CMR generator really free?

Yes. It runs entirely in your browser: nothing is uploaded, no account is needed and there is no watermark. Your draft is kept in your browser's local storage so you can return to it.

Is a CMR printed from this tool legally valid?

A CMR consignment note is valid when it contains the particulars required by the CMR Convention (Article 6) and is signed by the sender and the carrier; the form itself is not a protected template. Print three or four copies and sign them. For an electronic CMR with verifiable signatures, use the eCMR in CargoMind.

Which languages are on the form?

Box labels are in English with French and German captions, the usual trilingual layout of the IRU model. Fill the fields in any language.

Can I save it as a PDF?

Yes. Click Print / Save as PDF and choose 'Save as PDF' as the printer in your browser's print dialog. The output is an A4 page with the standard 24-box layout.
