To ensure the application of EDI technology, the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business has developed and published the UN/EDIFACT standard. Among its components. The UN/EDIFACT segment directory, UN/EDIFACT data element directory, and UN/EDIFACT composite data element directory constitute a complete set of... The complete UN/EDIFACT data standard. Furthermore, given the increasing importance and frequent application of the UN/EDIFACT data standard, with... With the development of EDI technology, the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business Updates the UN/EDIFACT data standard annually to ensure... The certificate promptly meets actual needs and promotes rapid economic and social development. In recent years, my country's international cooperation has become increasingly frequent, and its import and export trade volume has multiplied.
