Which of the following forms contains the address of the shipper, the address of the consignee, and the gross weight of the shipment?

An Air Waybill (AWB) is a non-negotiable contract of carriage issued by an airline or its agent for the transportation of goods. It serves as a receipt for the shipper and contains the essential details of the shipment. According to international standards set by bodies like the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the AWB must include the full name and address of the shipper (consignor), the full name and address of the recipient (consignee), and a detailed description of the goods, which includes the gross weight. This information is critical for customs clearance, cargo handling, and calculating freight charges.

A. Pick Ticket: This is an internal warehouse document that lists items to be retrieved from inventory to fulfill an order; it is not a transportation contract.

B. Task List: This is a generic term for a list of duties assigned to an employee and is not a standardized document used for shipping.

D. Inventory List: This is an internal record of all stock held by a company for management and accounting purposes, not a document for a specific shipment.

1. International Air Transport Association (IATA). IATA Cargo Glossary of Terms. The glossary defines the Air Waybill as the "document made out by or on behalf of the shipper which evidences the contract between the shipper and carrier(s) for carriage of goods over routes of the carrier(s)." The standard AWB format includes mandatory fields for shipper and consignee details, as well as cargo weight. (Refer to the "A" section for Air Waybill definition).

In Chapter 12, "Transportation Management," the text describes transportation documents, explaining that a bill of lading (the AWB is the air equivalent) "identifies the consignor (shipper), consignee (receiver), the shipment’s weight, and the number of units" (p. 318).

3. Bowersox, D. J., Closs, D. J., & Cooper, M. B. (2020). Supply Chain Logistics Management (5th ed.). McGraw-Hill. Chapter 7, "Transportation," details the role of the bill of lading and its air equivalent, the air waybill, as the basic contract of carriage containing key information such as origin, destination, consignee, and shipment weight (Section on "Transportation Documentation").
