A consignment is a logical grouping of goods (one or more logistics units) transferred to a freight forwarder to be transported for a specific journey. The freight forwarder must allocate the consignment number.
The consignment level is applied when shipments are transported together for part of their journey, under separate transport contract. The consignment applies only to the specific journey and not to the final destination of each shipment.
