When you need to ship internationally, you’ll need to create a shipment, which will involve the generation of an air waybill (AWB).
Your air waybill is arguably the most important piece of documentation associated with your shipment. It contains all the instructions and information about the contents and characteristics of your shipment that is necessary for transportation. But more importantly, the AWB is the document that proves the ownership of any DHL package – based on the details of the sender and recipient. The waybill is usually attached to the exterior of the shipment package, whether it’s a DHL Express box or DHL envelope. This allows for anyone handling the shipment to easily access important details.
