Rulebook Harmonisation

The global regulatory landscape is still not compatible with the needs for importers and exporters working with title documents within their trade processes. Platforms use private law contracts to define the mode of operations for title document exchange. These private law contracts have definitions, terms and rules associated with digitising trade.

The ICC Digital Standards Initiative is working with importers, exporters, banks and carriers to create a uniform rulebook that enables parties to exchange title documentation electronically.

Warehouse receipts provide proof of ownership for goods stored in either a warehouse, vault, or depository for safekeeping. Warehouse receipts may be negotiable or non-negotiable.

There is no electronic warehouse receipt standard that enables importers, exporters, banks, fintechs and other industry participants to generate systems that talk the same language.

The bill of lading is a foundational document in international trade, and a unifying standard is required to remove friction between the systems.
