I can see the CMR file evident in your whitepaper, what is iteaning and importance in OPN?

Ok. CMR is an important document that would be valuable particularly for delivery agents. Read concise details below;

CMR
Full meaning: Cargo Movement Requirement

CMR is a consignment note with a standard set of transport and liability conditions, which replaces individual businesses' terms and conditions. The CMR note confirms that the carrier (ie the road haulage company) has received the goods and that a contract of carriage exists between the trader and the carrier.

CMR will be an indispensable document to our delivery agents most especially, and to suppliers, buyers, and all OPN platform users in general.

CMR shipping document is an official document / convention for international carriage formed by the United Nations which is used by all the EU member countries and some additional ones. Its main purpose is to define various legal issues which may arise in the transportation of cargo via road and it is escorting all international road shipments while in transit.

The document can be requested when there is a police check or a customs check and the driver needs to carry it with him until the final delivery destination. The document is filled in either by the seller or the forwarder. Usually in full truck loads it is filled in by the seller and in less than full truck loads by the forwarder (especially when the truck that will pick up the order is not the truck that will deliver it).

The document is written usually in two languages and has standard fields labeled with numbers. Each number corresponds to specific information that need to be written inside. There are sometimes small variations in the CMR layout and some additional labeled fields are entered depending on the type of shipments that are served.

Below mentioned are the most important fields to be filled in during a standard shipment:

The Shippers contact info In this section of the CMR the information of the company that makes the loading (shipper) needs to be entered (Company name, address, post code, city, country). The Consignees contact info.

In this section of the CMR the information of the company that will be billed should be entered (company name, address, post code, city, country).

The address where the products will be delivered. Additional if there is an agreement for the shipment to be delivered until a specific date, expected deliver date info can be filled in. The shippers loading address info, any documents that are submitted to the driver can be also mentioned here (i.e. delivery note, invoice, packing list etc.)

OPN is Disrupting the packaging industry with worlds first decentralized marketplace for sellers and buyers, delivery agents, validators, suppliers and other ecosystem participants.

So without CMR delivery agents wount be able to transit packaging materials from one place to another? So its so compulsory?

CMR is as important as the packaging materials transported, especially transborder movements. It is that necessary, also for us, its an additional layer of security for both parties involved in the trade and delivery agents

Extra security yes, but that's it? Delivery agents will just utilize CMR t use the OPN platform?

Beyond CMR, kyc is compulsory for all OPN platform users, including Delivery agents. So security is multi layered to give needed confidence and boost.
