What is the difference between a Master AWB and a House AWB? +

A Master Air Waybill (MAWB) is issued by the airline — in this case Norwegian — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 328. A House Air Waybill (HAWB) is issued by the freight forwarder to the individual shipper and uses the forwarder's own numbering system. For tracking on Norwegian's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 328-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Is 328 the only AWB prefix for Norwegian? +

Yes. 328 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for Norwegian. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 328, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 328, it is guaranteed to be a Norwegian shipment.

What if my 328 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 328 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Norwegian cargo terminal and the AWB has been activated in their system. This typically takes 2–8 hours after acceptance. If your AWB still shows no status after 12 hours, contact Norwegian cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
