FFW

The FIATA warehouse receipt, correctly coded FWR (the seed code FFW is a garbled form), is the FIATA document a freight forwarder issues for goods held in its warehousing operations. It acknowledges receipt and storage of the named goods and records their condition and quantity, and it is used mainly at national level rather than as an international transport document. FWR is one of the FIATA document set with the FFI (forwarding instructions), FCR (forwarder’s certificate of receipt), FCT (certificate of transport), and the FBL multimodal bill of lading. Unlike the negotiable FBL, the standard FWR is a receipt, not a document of title transferring ownership by endorsement.
