Filling AWB. Air waybill: document confirming the existence of a contract for transportation Air waybill number
Cargo transportation aircraft has a number of features and must be carried out taking into account certain requirements. One of the features of such transportation is the air waybill. This document does not refer to waybills in the full sense of the word and does not have a transfer function.
Essentially, it contains information certifying the existence of a contract for air delivery and the conditions under which such delivery is carried out. There are also situations in which an air waybill can act as a customs declaration - in this case it should contain the maximum amount of data about the product. Unfortunately, in our country there are no simplified procedures for moving goods internationally and this rule does not apply.
The international name for the air waybill in English is (abbreviation AWB). To transmit information, check the status and track the current position of shipped products, an eleven-digit number is used. The three digits at the beginning of the number indicate the airport to which the transport takes place, according to IATA. The next seven digits form the actual serial number of the air waybill, and the last digit is a control number and is calculated using a certain formula.
Features of the air waybill
An air waybill is a document consisting of several copies. Usually their number varies from 8 to 12. Including three original documents, on the reverse side of which the text of the contract is printed. The remaining copies are their copies.
Original air waybills are intended for the following cargo transportation participants:
- For the sender of the cargo or consignment.
- For the recipient of the goods.
- For a transport company (carrier).
Copies of air waybills are provided to other transportation participants, including:
- Transit carriers.
- The airport from which the cargo is sent.
- The airport receiving the cargo.
- Transit airports.
- Authorized Agent.
IN modern form the invoice can be issued as a main or home invoice. Main has the prefix “Master” and is designated by the abbreviation MAWB. Home includes the English prefix “House” in its name and, accordingly, is denoted by the abbreviation HAWB. The master waybill has the number of the aviation company indicated by this company, as well as information about agents in the state from which the goods are shipped and in the state to which it is shipped. Home option, on the contrary, is not appointed by the airline, but by an agent, and contains information about the supplier and recipient based on the attached invoice. There is also a third option, in which the data of the master invoice and home invoice are combined.
An air waybill intended for sending goods must contain the following stamps:
- Warehouse stamp.
- A stamp confirming approval by the flight safety control service.
- The agent's stamp confirming that he is familiar with the characteristics of the shipment.
- Stamp of the customs authority.
What information does the air waybill contain: sample
There are certain rules and regulations for filling out air waybills. Decor of this document requires knowledge and experience, but in general the diagram looks like this. The shipper of the cargo submits an application in a certain form (for dangerous goods the application differs from the standard one). The application does not apply to strict reporting documents and can be filled out in Russian or international language (English).
- IATA code of departure airport.
- Carrier details.
- Details of the sender of the cargo (including a two-letter state code).
- Sender's account number (indicated if necessary).
- Data of the cargo recipient (address, name, country code, etc.).

To track your parcel you need to take a few simple steps.
1. Go to the main page
2. Enter the track code in the field with the heading "Track postal item"
3. Click on the "Track parcel" button located to the right of the field.
4. After a few seconds, the tracking result will be displayed.
5. Study the result, and especially carefully the latest status.
6. Forecasted delivery period is displayed in the track code information.
Try it, it's not difficult ;)
If you do not understand the movements between postal companies, click on the link with the text “Group by company”, which is located under the tracking statuses.
If there are any difficulties with the statuses on English language, click on the link with the text “Translate into Russian”, which is located under the tracking statuses.
Carefully read the "Track Code Information" block, there you will find estimated delivery times and other useful information.
If, when tracking, a block is displayed in a red frame with the heading “Pay Attention!”, carefully read everything that is written in it.
In these information blocks you will find 90% of the answers to all your questions.
If in the block "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the destination country, in this case, tracking the parcel becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the destination country / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item Arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived in Pulkovo / Left Luxembourg / Left Helsinki / Sending to the Russian Federation or after a long pause of 1 - 2 weeks, it is impossible to track the location of the parcel. No, and nowhere. Not at all =)
In this case, you need to wait for a notification from your post office.
To calculate delivery times in Russia (for example, after export, from Moscow to your city), use the "Delivery Time Calculator"
If the seller promised that the parcel would arrive in two weeks, but the parcel takes more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in sales, and that’s why they are misleading.
If less than 7 - 14 days have passed since the receipt of the track code, and the parcel is not tracked, or the seller claims that he sent the parcel, and the status of the parcel “the item pre-advised” / “Email notification received” does not change for several days, this is normal, You can read more by following the link: .
If the status of the postal item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is a normal phenomenon for international postal items.
If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and the new parcel takes more than a month, this is normal, because... Parcels go on different routes, in different ways, they can wait for 1 day to be sent by plane, or maybe even a week.
If the parcel has left the sorting center, customs, intermediate point and there are no new statuses within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who is delivering the parcel from one city to your home. In order for a new status to appear, the parcel must arrive, unload, scan, etc. at the next sorting point or post office, and this takes much more time than just getting from one city to another.
If you do not understand the meaning of such statuses as Reception / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can look at the breakdown of the main statuses of international mail:
If the parcel is not delivered to your post office 5 days before the end of the protection period, you have the right to open a dispute.
If, based on the above, you do not understand anything, read these instructions again, and again, until you are completely clear;)
