E-Way Bill Requirements – Transportation Of Goods By Airways

How to Make E-Way Bill For Goods Transported by Air

The following are important points to note when transporting goods by air:

• Part A of the E-Way Bill must be filled out by either the supplier or the recipient
• The invoice, delivery challan and the airway bill number need to be updated
• An airway bill number is not a document proving any title to the goods, it is only a document that proves that the goods were transported by the airline that issued the transport document
• If the supplier fails to generate an e-way bill, then the transporter is responsible for doing so.
• Details of the transport document must be entered in the e-way bill as soon as the airline issues the transport document.
• An e-way bill is not required when goods are simply being transported for customs clearance from an airport or other depot to Inland Container Depot or Container Freight Station
• However, a valid e-way bill is required when transporting goods from Customs to the final destination i.e the address of the recipient.
• The validity period of an e-way bill starts from the time Part B is updated i.e. when details of the transporting vehicle are entered for the first time.
• Where there are multiple modes of transport, either the supplier or the transporter needs to update the corresponding transport number when the goods arrive at each concerned location.
