What is UN/LOCODE?
The UN/LOCODE identifier is the United Nations Code for Trade and Transport Locations code used to uniquely identify locations that are used for trade and transportation such as ports, rail and road terminals, airports, postal exchanges and border crossings. It consists of five characters, the leading two characters consisting of a country code as defined in ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 and the remaining three characters uniquely identifying a location within the country.
UN/LOCODE currently includes more than 103,034 locations in 249 countries and territories. It is used worldwide by many major shipping companies, by freight forwarders and in the manufacturing industry.
