The Shipment Identification Number is a number assigned by a consignor. It provides a globally unique number that identifies a logical grouping of physical units for the purpose of a transport shipment. It may be used by all parties in the transport chain as a communication reference, for example, in Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) messages where it can be used as a shipment reference and/or a consignor’s loading list.

- The GS1 Company Prefix used is the one belonging to the consignor. If you have obtained a prefix to allocate twelve-digit GTINs either directly from GS1 US, GS1 Canada or via GS1 Australia, you must add a filler zero to the front of the prefix after the Application Identifier.

- The Shipper Reference is assigned by the consigner. It is recommended that numbers are allocated sequentially.

- The Check Digit is mathematically calculated and ensures the whole number is correct. Correct calculation is essential for successful scanning of the barcode symbol.

Note: The AI(402) is not part of the Check Digit Calculation. For either method of calculating the Check Digit add a filler zero to the front of the number and use the SSCC option. The shipment identification number may be processed as stand alone information where applicable or with the identification data appearing on the same unit.

For more information please contact your GS1 office in you country.
