A House Air Waybill (HAWB) is issued by the freight forwarder to the individual shipper and uses the forwarder's own numbering system.

What if my 704 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 704 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a Ibom Air 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 Ibom Air cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
