ICAO, UNECE complete digital air cargo guidance to replace AWB, DGD, CSD

 ICAO and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) have completed new digital air cargo technical specifications guidance that will "help to accelerate the transition towards safer and more resilient supply chains while making important contributions to Covid-19 response and recovery efforts," reads the ICAO release.



These latest results will see digital specifications replacing the formerly paper-based Air Waybill (AWB), Dangerous Goods Declaration (DGD), and the Consignment Security Declaration (CSD). These, in turn, form part of a broader suite of deliverables for multimodal transport data sharing, applicable to air, road, rail, maritime, and inland water transport.

The specifications and supporting materials are available free of charge to regulators, businesses, and other interested stakeholders through the UNDA COVID-19 Trade and Transport Project website, and ICAO and the UNECE will now turn their focus to assisting countries with implementing them.
