<![CDATA[International trade is inherently linked to international contracts, including freight forwarding agreements that regulate the rights and obligations of parties in cross-border shipping. In practice, such contracts often lead to disputes, either due to breach of obligations or procedural issues in law enforcement. One example is the Cibinong District Court Decision Number 239/Pdt.G/2020/PN Cbi involving Hakua Trading Co., Ltd. and PT Trinitan Metals and Minerals Tbk. This study examines the dispute by focusing on the legal standing of the parties, the object of the agreement, the role of the Bill of Lading, the application of Incoterms, and the judges’ legal considerations.
