DLV — Delivered

DLV is a three-letter status code that indicates a shipment has been delivered to the consignee or their authorized agent. It appears in FSU (Freight Status Update) messages transmitted via IATA Cargo-IMP or Cargo-XML standards to notify freight forwarders and shippers that delivery has been completed. The status confirms the consignee or agent has received the cargo, marking the final milestone in the air cargo tracking lifecycle. DLV status may not be displayed at certain fiscal warehouses in countries including Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, and others due to customs regulations.

A Qatar Airways Cargo shipment with AWB 157-12345678 shows DLV status when delivered to the consignee at JFK airport, confirming Qatar Airways has completed the final delivery handover to the freight forwarder. An American Airlines Cargo shipment AWB 001-98765432 displays DLV status after being delivered to the consignee warehouse at LAX, indicating successful completion of the air transport contract and closure of the shipment record.
