FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Electronic bills of lading (eBLs) are now legally recognised under Dutch law, supporting faster and safer trade flows, according to ICC Netherlands. Unlike traditional paper bills of lading, which must physically travel between multiple banks and parties—often across continents—electronic bills of lading (eBLs) are transmitted instantly. This is why the new Dutch reform ensures that eBLs are treated as functionally equivalent to traditional paper bills of lading under law, giving businesses greater legal certainty in both domestic and international freight transport.
