About GSIN<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Global Shipment Identification Number (GSIN) is a GS1 freight number used to number a specified number of logistic units included in the same shipment. GSIN can be used by all parties in the transport flow to number the freight. In electronic business messages, GSIN is used as a reference number for the freight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is GSIN needed?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

By numbering a shipment with GSIN, the logistic units can be traced from the shipper to the receiver. GSIN also meets the requirements for the Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) of the World Customs Organization (WCO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

GSIN integrates with all GS1 standards and can be used locally, globally and throughout the supply chain. Identifying a shipment with GSIN enables efficient information sharing through, for example, encoding into a barcode or as an electronic message.<\/p>\n\n\n
