Using distributed ledger technology, shippers will share their trade document with proof of authenticity and origins for these documents, enabling a more seamless and efficient flow of goods between digitally interconnected trading partners. Documents they will share are as below:

• Warehouse Receipts
• Certificates of Origin
• Commercial Invoices
• Packing Lists
• Bills of Lading
• Customs/Goods Declarations
• Insurance Certificates

The above documents will be created over a MLETR-compliant solution to ensure the verification of authenticity and provenance of the digital trade documents mentioned above. In addition, the solution is designed to handle electronic transferable records like electronic Bills of Lading (eBL) in a way that fulfills the three criteria stipulated by the UNCITRAL Model Law of Electronic Transferable Records (MLETR) which are to maintain singularity, exclusive control and integrity.
