Air waybill (AWB)
An Air Waybill (AWB) is the transport document for air carriage. It confirms that the carrier has received the cargo and evidences the contract of carriage; unlike a bill of lading, it is not a document of title.
An AWB contains the details of the shipper, consignee and airports, along with a description and the weight of the cargo. It is used in customs clearance of air shipments; the data is checked against the invoice.
