Available on enabled trade lanes, sending your freight with an e-AWB instead of a printed AWB simplifies your freight journey as all air waybill information is shared with us electronically.
Due to regulatory or other operational reasons, there are some destinations where e-AWBs cannot be used and paper AWBs are still required. Customers need to determine when a paper AWB has to be generated and maintain two parallel shipping processes for e-AWB and paper AWB, as appropriate.
Due to government and Customs regulations, shipments to or from Brazil and to or from certain stations in China continue to require signed copies of the paper master air waybill (MAWB).

IATA is the power behind e-freight, an initiative to drive carriers, forwarders, ground handlers, customs brokers and customs authorities to adopt an end-to-end paperless process for air freight. More information on e-freight and e-AWB can be found in the links below.
