In international air freight, two important documents are commonly used:
✪ 𝙈𝘼𝙒𝘽 (𝙈𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝘼𝙞𝙧 𝙒𝙖𝙮 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙡)
Issued by the airline to the freight forwarder.
It represents the main transport contract for the cargo shipment.
✪ 𝙃𝘼𝙒𝘽 (𝙃𝙤𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝘼𝙞𝙧 𝙒𝙖𝙮 𝘽𝙞𝙡𝙡)
Issued by the freight forwarder to the actual shipper or consignee.
It contains detailed shipment information of individual customers.
Simple understanding:
• MAWB = Airline « Freight Forwarder
• HAWB = Freight Forwarder → Shipper
Why it is Important to understand?
➥ Helps cargo tracking
➥ Ensures shipment control
➥ Supports customs clearance
➥ Maintains shipment accountability
Key Difference:
✽ MAWB covers the consolidated shipment
✽ HAWB covers individual customer cargo details
In Global logistics, proper documentation ensures smooth cargo movement, transparency, and operational control.
