Explaining E-Freight Consignment

E-freight refers to the electronic management of air cargo shipments, and a consignment, in this context, refers to the goods or cargo being transported. E-freight Consignment involves the digitalization of documents, data, and communication throughout the entire cargo shipping process. 

 

In e-freight Consignment, all relevant documents and paperwork associated with the cargo shipment are digitized. This includes electronic airway bills (e-AWBs), invoices, packing lists, customs declarations, and certificates of origin. This digitalization reduces the need for physical paper documents, minimizing the risk of loss or damage and expediting the documentation process.
