DEF

Goods shipped for future sale or other purpose, title remaining with the shipper (consignor), for which the receiver (consignee), upon acceptance, is accountable.

OBS

Consigned goods are a part of the consignor's inventory until sold. The consignee may be the eventual purchaser, may act as the agent through whom the sale is effected, or may otherwise dispose of the goods in accordance with an agreement with the consignor.

OBS

The primary difference between a consignment and a conditional sale is that risk of loss remains in the consignor, but passes to the vendee in a conditional sale unless the parties agree otherwise.
