UCR (Unique Consignment Reference)

The Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) is a globally unique reference number assigned to consignments, endorsed by the World Customs Organization (WCO), and is a mandatory inclusion on all export shipments. It serves as a distinctive identifier for goods during entry, import, exit, and export processes.

The UCR is pivotal for ensuring compliance with international trade regulations. This standardized reference number aids customs authorities and stakeholders in efficiently managing and processing consignments across borders, contributing to the smooth flow of goods in the global trade landscape.
