What is WB (Waybill)?

A waybill is a document that is used in shipping and logistics to provide information about a shipment, such as its origin, destination, contents, and weight. The waybill serves as a contract between the shipper and the carrier, and is used to ensure that the shipment is properly accounted for and delivered to the correct destination. Waybills may be used for various modes of transportation, including air, sea, and land, and may include additional information such as the names of the consignor and consignee, the mode of transportation, and any special handling instructions.
