International trade has had an increasing impact on the national economies of states. For this reason, some international institutions have sought to standardise rules on the international sale of goods. The Convention, which stands out from these rules, is the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, opened for signature in Vienna on 11th April, 1980, known as the Vienna Convention (CISG). The transfer of risk is one of the most sensitive issues in international trade. Therefore, it would seem apt to observe the legal regime of the transfer of risk contained in the various provisions of this international instrument. To understand the rules of the transfer of risk, it is necessary to observe the notion of contract for the international sale and the obligations of the parties involved in the international contract. In addition, it should be noted that, in most situations, the contract for the international sale is related to the transport of goods. With this framework, the study of this essay focuses on the analysis of article 68 of the Vienna Convention. So, this dissertation deals with the question of determining the exact moment of the transfer of risk in the contract of international sale of goods in transit under the Vienna Convention.
