In TNT, a consignment note is a document that functions as a receipt for the goods or merchandise to be shipped, and as evidence of the contract of carriage by setting out the rights and obligations of the sender and the carrier, as well as placing limitations on the carrier\'s limitations of loss, damage or delay in the goods. It is not a document of title to the goods.
