Which goods require an Air Waybill?

• A. All items transported by Air
• B. Only international shipments
• C. Only dangerous goods
• D. None

Answer: (A)

An Air Waybill is the contract of carriage and receipt for goods moved by air. Because the carrier needs a formal document that records who is shipping, who is receiving, what is being shipped, the route, and the charges, this document is produced for every air shipment. So any goods transported by air require an Air Waybill, whether the shipment is international or domestic. It’s not limited to dangerous goods (they require additional declarations, but still need the AWB) and it’s not correct to say none.
