11 digits. The first 3 show the airline.

Or go straight to a carrier

Carrier websites are run by those carriers. Their links can change. For any other carrier, try track-trace.com air cargo or track-trace.com container.

Quick answers

Where do I find my air waybill number?

Your air waybill number is at the top of the air waybill. It has 11 digits: a 3-digit airline prefix, followed by 8 digits. Emirates SkyCargo numbers start with 176, for example. If you do not have the document, ask your forwarder or the shipper to send you a copy or the number.

Where do I find my container number?

Your container number is on the bill of lading and on the container itself. It has 4 letters and 7 digits, such as CSQU3054383. The first three letters identify the owner, and the last digit is a check digit. Leased containers may not belong to the shipping line that is carrying your cargo.

Why does my tracking number show no results?

New shipments often take time to appear in carrier systems. The carrier may not have received the cargo yet, or the number may be mistyped. Check it here first, then try again later. If the number is valid and still shows nothing after a day, ask your forwarder to confirm the booking and carrier details.
