Which of the following forms contains the address of the shipper, the address of the consignee, and the gross weight of the shipment?
The Air Waybill (AWB) is the official transportation document for air freight shipments. The CLT ''Dispatch and Tracking'' section lists it as a non-negotiable contract of carriage issued by an air carrier or freight forwarder. It includes essential details such as shipper and consignee addresses, shipment weight, contents, and routing information. Unlike a pick ticket or task list, which are internal warehouse documents, the Air Waybill serves as legal evidence of the transport agreement and as a receipt for goods accepted by the carrier. It also contains tracking numbers and payment terms. CLT stresses that proper completion of an Air Waybill ensures compliance with international shipping regulations and enables accurate freight movement visibility through global tracking systems.
