Artikel 10

1. The consignment note, signed according to Article 5, paragraph 3 shall be prima facie evidence, save proof to the contrary, of the conclusion and the conditions of the contract of carriage and the taking over of the goods by the carrier.
2. If the consignment note, signed according to Article 5, paragraph 3, contains no specific reservations by the carrier, it is assumed, save proof to the contrary, that the goods and their packaging have apparently been in a good and appropriate condition to be transported at the moment they were taken over by the carrier.
3. If the carrier has loaded the goods or has examined them, the consignment note shall be prima facie evidence, save proof to the contrary, of the condition of the goods and their packaging indicated on the consignment note or, in the absence of such indications, of their apparently good and appropriate condition at the moment they were taken over by the carrier and of the accuracy of the statements in the consignment note concerning the number of packages, their marks and numbers as well as the gross mass of the goods or their quantity otherwise expressed.
However, the consignment note will not be prima facie evidence in a case where it bears a reasoned reservation.
