Which code to use for KWI on air freight documents

Put KWI on the air waybill, the booking and the flight schedule for Kuwait International Airport, Kuwait City. The four-letter ICAO code OKKK identifies the same airport in flight plans and air-traffic control and does not appear on cargo paperwork.

The code also sets where your rate applies: a forwarder quotes airport-to-airport between two IATA codes unless the booking is door-to-door.

KWI has no CBP Schedule D code because Schedule D is a US-only system. If KWI is your origin, the customs code that matters is the one for your US airport of entry. Every US airport page in this tool shows it where the Census list names the airport.
