TREE NEWS update: China has led the formulation of two new international logistics standards, including the first global standard for green logistics, the National Standardization Administration said. The first, “Use Cases for Green Logistics Activities,” is the world’s first international standard in the green logistics field. The second, on business processes and data exchange for electronic bills of lading based on distributed ledger technology (DLT), establishes unified digital rules for e-bills of lading in global shipping and trade.
China Leads Two New ISO Logistics Standards, Including First Global Green Logistics Standard
AI take
Standard-setting is quiet leverage in trade infrastructure, and China chairing both efforts signals a push to shape global rules rather than merely comply with them. The DLT e-bill of lading standard matters most for tokenization and trade-finance digitization, since unified data rules can lower friction for cross-border documentation. Whether adoption follows the standard, particularly among carriers and banks outside China, is the open question.
