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 GlobalX — directly to the freight forwarder. It begins with the airline's prefix: 402. 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 GlobalX's official portal, you need the MAWB starting with 402-. If you only have a HAWB, ask your freight forwarder for the corresponding MAWB.

Is 402 the only AWB prefix for GlobalX? +

Yes. 402 is the single IATA-assigned AWB prefix exclusively for GlobalX. IATA assigns one unique 3-digit prefix per airline. No other carrier uses prefix 402, so whenever you see an airway bill starting with 402, it is guaranteed to be a GlobalX shipment.

What if my 402 AWB shows no tracking status? +

Tracking status for a 402 AWB may not appear immediately after booking. It becomes visible only after the cargo has been physically accepted at a GlobalX 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 GlobalX cargo customer service or your freight forwarder directly.
