Abstract
Under common business law and practice, someone is accountable for goods at all times. In distribution, goods change hands from manufacturer to carrier, to distribution center, then on to another carrier, and finally to the customer. In these exchanges, the responsibility limits of each handler of the goods must be clearly defined.
