{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"DefinedTerm","name":"Dematerialized Transport Documents","description":"A dematerialized transport document is an electronic record that fully replaces a traditional paper transport instrument – airway bill (AWB), bill of lading (B/L), or road consignment note (CMR) – and carries equivalent legal force. It is created, signed, transmitted, and archived in digital form only, with no paper original in circulation. Unlike simple digitization, which converts an existing paper document into a scanned image, dematerialization produces a natively electronic legal act.
