The GSIN is a number assigned by a seller (sender) of the goods. It provides a globally unique number that identifies a logical grouping of physical units travelling under one dispatch advice and/or one bill of lading as part of a specific seller/buyer relationship: from the consignor (seller) to the consignee (buyer).
The GSIN fulfills the requirements of the Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) of the World Customs Organization (WCO), which can be used by Customs authorities to identify shipments subject to import or export processes.
