Which form of documentation is required in addition to the itemized contents for the Zika Virus shipment?

• A. Certificate of Analysis
• B. Air Waybill
• C. Packing List
• D. Commercial Invoice

Answer: (B)

For shipments of infectious substances by air, the transportation document that must accompany the cargo is the Air Waybill. It serves as the contract of carriage between the shipper and the airline and includes key details such as shipper and consignee, origin and destination, a description of the dangerous goods, and the number of packages and their weight. The packing list provides the itemized contents, but it does not replace the official transport contract. A Certificate of Analysis is a lab document, not a required transport document, and a Commercial Invoice is used for customs rather than for the carriage of dangerous goods. Therefore, the Air Waybill is the necessary document in addition to listing the contents.
