Abstract

The article is devoted to the new edition of the Agreement on international railway freight traffic (SMGS), which has come into force on July 1, 2015. New edition of SMGS differs from the previous on the majority of points and actually represents a new concept of legal regulation for transportation of goods through the international railway communication. The author points to 10 SMGS provisions that can be useful to Russia’s exporters for delivering goods by railway transport. These points include dispositive character of some provisions of Agreements, references to norms of the national law, a new order of planning of transportation of goods through the international railway communication, alteration of time standards for cargo deliveries, a new procedure for payment of transportations across the national railroads, etc.
