Air waybill fiscal control and authorization

Abstract

Air waybills may be used by governments to aid in tax collection efforts. Conventionally, air waybills are printed on forms with pre-printed air waybill numbers and the number from the form entered into electronic storage. The air waybills may be used by some governments to assess taxes. New government rules allow the submission of electronic air waybills to government servers for tax enforcement. Electronic air waybills may be implemented by a computer system to increase the efficiency and productivity when accounting for shipments through a county. For example, air waybill numbers and fiscal identifier numbers may be assigned to an air waybill electronically. The air waybill is then transmitted to the government server for approval. Upon acceptance by the government of the air waybill the computer system may print the issued waybill.
