As an initial research stage, this study conducted an exploratory study on the obligations and rights of transport parties under the International Rail Freight Transport Agreement (SMGS) observed in Asia and Russia. Research design, data, methodology : In this study, as there is still a lack of introduction to the International Rail Freight Transport Agreement (SMGS) in Korea, an exploratory study was conducted focusing on the obligations and rights of transportation parties stipulated in this agreement (SMGS). Results : In order to apply the International Rail Cargo Agreement (SMGS), the requirements of 'Internationality and whether or not it is a Contracting State of the International Rail Cargo Agreement' must be satisfied.

Conclusions : In this study, a study was conducted on the obligations and rights of the transporting parties in the International Rail Freight Transport Agreement complied with in Asia and Russia.
