The FIATA eFBL Standard Package was developed as part of the United Nations response to the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic under the United Nations multiagency project “Transport and Trade Connectivity in the Age of Pandemics: UN solutions for contactless, seamless and collaborative transport and trade”.
Available via FIATA’s GitHub repository, the data standard is offered as open source for all software providers and industry stakeholders to implement. FIATA expects its standard to become the main global standard for all House Bill of Ladings, noting the compatibility with other BLs.
The Negotiable FIATA Multimodal Transport Bill of Lading was established more than 30 years ago as a paper standard trade document. It is the only truly multimodal negotiable transport document, bearing the ICC logo, which demonstrates its conformity with the UNCTAD/ICC Rules.
FIATA decided to base its eFBL data model with the UN/CEFACT MMT Reference data model in order to ensure its interoperability with all modes of transport and actors of the supply chain.
