Hauptverpflichtete

English translation: principal obligator

GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
German term or phrase:Hauptverpflichtete
English translation:principal obligator
Entered by: Alison Stewart

German to English translations [PRO]
Bus/Financial - Transport / Transportation / Shipping / Software für Logistik
German term or phrase: Hauptverpflichtete
Examples from the software: Hauptverpf. Text 1
Hauptverpf. Vertr. durch
Hauptverpf. Zoll Nr.
(there are no proper sentences).

I have a vague understanding, in customs terms, that the Hauptverpflichtete is the owner of the transport/shipping company and thus responsible for insurance, safety etc.

The only possible translation I have so far is 'principal' (can't remember where I found that!) and something like main/prime obligation for Hauptverpflichtung.

Would be grateful for confirmation/correction.
Thanks
