International trade processes are swamped with documents, many of which stubbornly resist digitalisation. This includes trade documents like orders & invoices, transport documents such as house/master air/sea waybills, finance documents such as letters of credit & cargo insurance, and regulatory documents such as import/export declarations & preferential certificates of origin. This panel examines the role of verifiable credentials as highly scalable and secure way to digitalise trade. Use cases will show how trade documents as verifiable credentials can reduce illicit trade, improve access to trade finance, and facilitate legitimate trade. The panel will also discuss the challenges in digitalisation of a special class of “transferrable” documents such as ocean bills of lading.
