- The customs broker responsible for clearance
- The insurance underwriter for the shipment

Correct answer: The HAWB is issued by the forwarder to the shipper, while the MAWB is issued by the carrier to the forwarder
The House Air Waybill (HAWB) is issued by the freight forwarder to its customer, whereas the Master Air Waybill (MAWB) is the contract between the airline and the forwarder acting as the consolidator.
