You can familiarize yourself with the rules in more detail here.

The most important points of the Air Transport Convention:

The issuance of an air waybill can be replaced by any other means, the carrier, upon the request of the consignor, can issue a cargo receipt, which allows identification of the shipped goods and access to the information contained in the cargo registration;

For international transportation, the rules on customs formalities differ for each country, when carrying out air cargo transportation, if it is necessary to comply with the formalities of customs, police and similar administrative institutions, the sender may be required to issue a document indicating the nature of the cargo. The carrier is not responsible or liable for the contents of the cargo.

The air cargo waybill consists of three original copies. The first copy is marked – for the carrier and is signed by the sender. The second copy is marked by the consignee and signed by the consignor and the carrier. The third copy is signed by the carrier, who hands it over to the shipper after the cargo has been accepted, taking into account that the signature must be printed or stamped.

The air transport carrier is responsible for the contents of the cargo and delivery times.

Insurance – Member States shall require their carriers to maintain adequate insurance covering their liability under this Convention. The Member State in which the carrier operates may require evidence that he maintains adequate insurance covering his liability under this Convention.
