MLETR aims to enable the seamless digitalization of trade by ensuring that electronic records can be used and trusted in the same way as their paper counterparts, thereby promoting efficiency, reducing transaction costs, and enhancing the security and traceability of international trade operations. To align these documents with their electronic counterparts, MLETR serves as a model law that offers the legal recognition of their digital equivalence. Seen as a key enabler in facilitating paperless trade, MLETR is key to addressing the challenges and inefficiencies associated with the reliance on paper documentation.
