TRADE AND TRANSPORT STATUS CODES
(SECOND EDITION)
(Geneva,
V.2000)
(with a change in the code lists noted
by the seventh session
of UN/CEFACT,
Geneva, March 2001)
I. PREAMBLE
The United Nations
through UN/CEFACT (United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic
Business) supports activities dedicated to improving the ability of business,
trade and administrative organizations, from developed, developing and
transitional economies, to exchange products and relevant services effectively.
Its principal focus is to facilitate international transactions, through the
simplification and harmonization of procedures and information flows
<*>.
-------------------------------
<*> From the
mission statement of UN/CEFACT.
Globalization of the marketplace is taking
place rapidly, with companies sourcing components in one part of the world,
assembling them in another part of the world and selling them in yet another.
The trend towards transacting business through electronic means is leading to
more physical goods flows with smaller and more frequent shipments of goods and
commodities. This globalization of markets has resulted in the growing need for
even more efficient and effective information flows. The solution to achieving
effective information flows across international markets lies in the use of
common procedures and processes based on the use of globally agreed standards.
Inherent in this approach is the need for precise mechanisms to define the data
and for common coding systems to represent specific data items.
Trade and
transport status codes are a much needed and required tool to facilitate the
exchange of status information on goods, consignments and/or equipment, whenever
electronic reporting takes place.
The UN/CEFACT work programme emphasizes
the need for developing recommendations, which simplify and harmonize the
current practices and procedures used in international transactions. Within this
context, the role of the UN/CEFACT Codes Working Group (CDWG) is to secure the
quality, relevance and availability of code sets and code structures to support
the objectives of UN/CEFACT, including managing the maintenance of UN/ECE
Recommendations related to codes. The CDWG prepared this revision of
Recommendation 24.
This second edition of Recommendation No. 24
supercedes and replaces the first edition (ECE/TRADE/WP.4/R.1067, September
1995).
II. RECOMMENDATION
At its sixth session in March 2000, UN/CEFACT
agreed to adopt the following Recommendation. A list of the countries and
organizations represented at this session can be found in Annex 1.
The
United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT)
recommends that Governments and business do implement the Trade and Transport
Status Codes in support of a common approach to trade facilitation.
III.
SCOPE
1. This Recommendation establishes a common code list for the
identification of status information on goods, consignments and/or
equipment.
IV. FIELD OF APPLICATION
2. This Recommendation applies in
cases where a coded representation is required for the description of trade and
transport status codes, for information exchange between parties involved in
international trade and transport. It may be applied to all modes of
transport.
V. EXPLANATORY TEXT
A. Definitions
3. The following
definitions have been adopted for the purposes of this Recommendation:
code: character string that represents a member of a set of values.
code
list: complete set of code values for a data item.
consignment:
separately identifiable amount of goods (available to be) transported from one
consignor to one consignee via one or more than one modes of transport as
specified in one single transport document.
data: re-interpretable
representation of information in a formalised manner suitable for communication,
interpretation or processing.
document: recorded permanent data
containing information.
EDI (Electronic Data Interchange): electronic
transfer from computer application to computer application of commercial or
administrative transactions using an agreed standard to structure the
transaction or message data.
EDI message: approved, published, and
maintained formal description of how to structure the data required to perform a
specific business function, in such a way as to allow for the transfer and
handling of this data by electronic means.
electronic business: process
of transacting business electronically. This includes the sharing of
unstructured or structured business information by any electronic means among
suppliers, customers, governmental bodies, service providers and other parties
in order to conduct and execute transactions in business, administrative and
other activities.
facilitation: implementation of measures leading to the
simplification, standardisation and harmonization of the formalities,
procedures, documents and operations inherent to international trade
transactions.
goods: all materials received from a shipper.
procedure: steps to be followed in order to comply with a formality, including
the timing, format and transmission method for the submission of required
information.
standardization: development of standards whose purpose is
to align formalities, procedures, documents, information, and operations.
status reason: explanation or justification of the status of consignments, goods
and/or equipment.
transport status: snapshot of the position and/or
condition of consignments, goods and/or equipment at any point in time or place
within the full transport or logistical chain.
B. Specific
Considerations
4. In international trade there is a requirement to exchange
information about the status of consignments, goods, equipment or means of
transport at a certain time or place in the logistic chain.
5. More and
more, Electronic Data Interchange is used as a means to convey information
concerning the movement of goods throughout the transport chain.
6. For
tracing and tracking purposes, the concept "trade and transport status codes"
has been introduced and UN/EDIFACT messages have been developed to contain this
information.
7. In order to ensure consistency in the exchange of
information concerning the status of goods, consignments and/or equipment, a
common understanding of the concepts "Transport status" and "Status reason" is
necessary (see the definitions in section V. A).
8. Users of the trade
and transport status codes may choose codes to fulfil the business requirements
to suit Transport status or Status reason as they wish.
9. Parties
responsible for each stage of a trade transaction in a value chain are
encouraged to use the Trade and Transport Codes in conjunction with other
applicable UN Recommendations. These include:
UN Recommendation 8 -
Unique Identification Code Methodology - UNIC
UN Recommendation 11 -
Documentary aspects of the international transport of dangerous goods
UN
Recommendation 16 - UN/LOCODE - Code for Ports and Other Locations
UN
Recommendation 18 - Facilitation Measures related to International Trade
Procedures
UN Recommendation 19 - Codes for Modes of Transport
UN
Recommendation 21 - Codes for Types of Cargo, Packages and Packaging
Materials.
C. General Considerations
10. Emerging technologies such as
those offered through Electronic Business and the World Wide Web are having an
increasing impact on the way business is being conducted.
11. The growth
in the number of parties using the Internet for commercial or personal purposes
will have significant impact on the level of goods being moved across
international boundaries.
12. Despite increased numbers of consignments
and goods, unnecessary delays can occur because of incorrect or insufficient
information related to the clearance and handling of the goods. EDI is one
application of information technology specifically designed to address this
issue through the electronic exchange of information. International standards
such as UN/EDIFACT incorporate the use of various international code lists, such
as the Trade and Transport Status Codes. Similarly, other developments using the
Internet such as electronic forms, may depend on the use of an international
code list.
VI. MAINTENANCE AND UPDATING
13. This Recommendation shall be
maintained on behalf of UN/CEFACT by the UN/CEFACT Codes Working Group
(CDWG).
14. Proposals for updating this Recommendation should be
addressed to the Trade Facilitation Section, United Nations Economic Commission
for Europe, Palais des Nations, CH-1211 Geneva 10, Switzerland.
15. Draft
revisions to the body text and/or code list of this Recommendation shall be
issued by the CDWG when required and shall be made available on the CDWG Web
page on the UN/CEFACT website at this address: http://www.uncefact.org/.
16. Draft revisions shall be subject to a public comment period of at least two
months. UN/CEFACT Heads of Delegation shall be notified of the availability of a
draft revision and the period for comment. Following the conclusion of the
comment period, the CDWG shall address all comments received. Depending on the
comments received, the CDWG shall issue a new draft revision or shall prepare a
final revision for approval.
17. Final revisions of the body text of this
Recommendation shall be approved by the UN/CEFACT Plenary.
18. Final
revisions of the code list of this Recommendation shall be approved by the CDWG
Plenary or in the case where the body text has also been revised, by the
UN/CEFACT Plenary.
