Air Freight

House Air Waybill (HAWB)

Definition

A forwarding document issued for an individual shipment moving within an air-freight consolidation.

In practical terms

The house air waybill records the relationship between the shipper and forwarder, while the master air waybill covers the consolidated carrier movement.

Example

Each exporter receives a separate house air waybill even though all cargo moves under one master air waybill.
