Created by Omar Allybokus, Modified on Fri, 23 Feb, 2024 at 10:04 AM by Anj Latif

AWB, or Authorised Weigher of Bananas, is a program established by the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH) and the International Federation of Freight Forwarders Associations (FIATA) to regulate the weighing of bananas in international trade.


 


Under the AWB program, an authorised weigher is responsible for determining the weight of the bananas being shipped, which is a critical factor in calculating the cost of transportation and customs duties. The authorised weigher must comply with the standards and procedures established by the program, which are designed to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the weight measurements.
