Countries like Thailand and Brazil require declared freight costs on House Air Waybills (HAWB) for customs clearance. If omitted, customs will use IATA-published rates from the Master Air Waybill (MAWB) as the tax basis, inflating tariffs and VAT costs. For example, Brazil may enforce formal clearance for undeclared shipments valued over $3,000, increasing taxes by 40%+.

Key Compliance Practices

  • HAWB freight declarations must align with commercial invoices; avoid vague terms like “As Agreed.”
  • For Brazil, declare 70-80% of actual freight to balance customs scrutiny and tax risks.
