What is the difference between the GINC and the GSIN?

Modified on Thu, 22 Aug at 11:13 AM

The difference is that:


  • The GSIN is used to reflect the commercial aspects between the buyer and seller and identifies a shipment that has to be moved from one place to another, irrespective of the physical handling. 
  • The GINC is used to reflect the detailed logistics process used by the freight forwarder or Logistic Service Provider (LSP) to identify groupings of logistics units as appropriate in the chosen way of transport. Hence, one GSIN can result in several consignments, while in one consignment, goods from several shipments can be shipped.
