The Haulage Contractor has a lien on the value of the goods which are the subject of his obligation and on the documents relating thereto for all transport claims, even those arising in connection with previous operations, which his principal, the consignor or the consignee remain debtors to him, insofar as the owner of the goods on which the lien is exercised is involved in the said operations.
The transport claims covered by the lien are the transport charges themselves, additional remuneration due in respect of ancillary services and immobilisation of the vehicle during loading or unloading, costs incurred in the interest of the goods, customs duties, taxes, charges and fines relating to a transport operation and interest.
