Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A carrier's lien allows the carrier to hold onto goods until transportation charges are paid. This lien is a legal right to retain possession of the goods until the outstanding transportation charges are paid. It is a common practice in the logistics industry for carriers to exercise their lien rights to ensure payment. Therefore, withholding payment for transportation charges enables a carrier to hold goods on the basis of a carrier's lien. The other options, Matthew lien, Diem lien, and Equitable lien, are not relevant to transportation charges or the logistics industry.
