Ready for carriage

To meet performance expectations and current regulatory requirements, Air Canada Cargo adheres to a rigorous goods acceptance process.

Such process requires your shipment to be ready for carriage as per the following:

All shipments must have a confirmed booking from origin to destination.
Volume and weight must match the booking at time of acceptance.
In conformity with IATA Resolution 606, freight must be labelled, packed and marked.
In conformity with IATA Resolution 1600, the air waybill and other documents required for transport should be accurately completed, and must include weight, number of pieces, dimensions and all numbers required by Customs. Known or Unknown security status must also be included.
When applicable, complete HAWB information must be available for manual input or electronically transmitted to either Air Canada or directly to Customs.
Effective June 1, 2009, any adjustments made to an Air Waybill that could impact the expected billing amount, such as re-weighing, calculating or re-calculating the dimensional weight of your shipment, will be communicated to the shipper with a Notice of Correction. This Notice of Correction will be sent electronically to your attention.
