FAQ

Sea ports and UN/LOCODE

What is a UN/LOCODE?

UN/LOCODE is the United Nations' standard 5-letter code for ports and other trade locations: the first 2 letters are the ISO country code, the last 3 identify the location. Sydney is AUSYD, Singapore is SGSIN. It is used on bills of lading, customs declarations and booking systems worldwide.

Is this the full UN/LOCODE list?

No. The full UNECE registry has well over 100,000 entries covering inland rail depots, river ports and minor locations. This tool is a curated shortlist of major sea ports for agri-food trade lanes, so you can find the port you actually need quickly.

What does the reefer badge mean?

It flags ports with notable reefer (refrigerated container) throughput, relevant if you are shipping perishables. It is a general indicator, not a guarantee of reefer plug availability, confirm with your forwarder or the terminal.

Where do I find the official UN/LOCODE list?

The authoritative source is UNECE's published UN/LOCODE Code List, updated periodically. Use this tool to find your port quickly, then confirm the exact code on a customs document against the official list.
