Definitions from Case Law

From 204 U.S. 403 - Gulf Colorado Santa Fe Railway Company v. State of Texas · 1907Most cited · 251 citing opinions

the character of a shipment, whether local or interstate, is not changed by a transfer of title during the transportation. But whether it be one or the other may depend on the contract of shipment. ... The control over goods in process of transportation, which may be repeatedly changed by sales, is one thing; the transportation is another thing, and follows the contract of shipment, until that is changed by the agreement of owner and carrier.
