What Is Cargo Tracking?

Cargo tracking is the process of monitoring your shipment from origin to destination using a tracking number, usually called an Air Waybill (AWB).

An AWB number is a unique identifier assigned to every air cargo shipment, allowing both sender and receiver to track its movement in real time.

It acts as:

• A receipt for goods
• A transport contract
• A tracking tool for your shipment

Step-by-Step: How to Track Cargo Shipment

✅ 1. Get Your AWB (Air Waybill Number)

This is the most important step.

• It is usually 11 digits
• Example: 157-12345678
• Provided by airline or cargo agent

Without this number, you cannot track your cargo.

✅ 2. Use Official Tracking Platforms

Enter your AWB number on:

• Airline official website
• Cargo tracking platforms

Once entered, you will see:

• Shipment location
• Flight details
• Departure & arrival times
• Delivery status

✅ 3. Understand Tracking Status

Common tracking updates include:

• Booked – Cargo reserved but not shipped
• Received – Cargo accepted by airline
• In Transit – Moving between airports
• Arrived – Reached destination
• Customs Clearance – Under inspection
• Delivered – Shipment completed

✅ 4. Track Regularly

Tracking helps you:

• Detect delays early
• Prepare for customs clearance
• Plan pickup or delivery

⚠️ Common Mistakes That Mislead People (Very Important)

❌ 1. Using Fake Tracking Numbers

Some fraud cases involve fake AWB numbers.

👉 Always verify through official airline websites

❌ 2. Tracking on Untrusted Websites

Not all tracking platforms are reliable.

👉 Always confirm with:

• Airline official portal
• Trusted cargo agent

❌ 3. Not Understanding AWB Type

There are:

• MAWB (Master Air Waybill) – airline level
• HAWB (House Air Waybill) – forwarder level

👉 Using wrong one may show no results

❌ 4. Panic When Tracking Doesn’t Update Immediately

Tracking may not appear until:

• Cargo is received by airline
• Shipment is scanned into system

👉 This is normal in logistics systems (real industry practice)

❌ 5. Ignoring Customs Status

Many delays happen at customs clearance stage, not during transport.
