Serial shipping container code
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The serial shipping container code (SSCC) is an 18-digit number used to identify logistics units. In order to automate the reading process, the SSCC is often encoded in a barcode, generally GS1-128, and can also be encoded in an RFID tag. It is used in electronic commerce transactions.
The SSCC comprises an extension digit, a GS1 company prefix, a serial reference, and a check digit. It is all numeric. It is applicable to tertiary level of packing.
The SSCC is commonly used in the advance ship notice (ASN) EDI transaction.
