Portuguese term

citação prévia/distribuição

Portuguese to English Law/Patents Transport / Transportation / Shipping Law suit for damage indemnity
"Para tanto, requer a V. Exa. se digne ordenar a citação prévia da Ré por via postal, antes da distribuição, para contestar."

This sentence is at the end of the legal brief (in the last paragraph), and it summarizes what the lawyer is asking from the judge. In this case, an importer company is requesting that the transporter reimburse them for damages done to transported goods. What is a "citação prévia"? And what is "distribuição"?
