GTINThe goods itself also also might be identified by global trade item number GTIN. Then on the level of the logistics unit SSCC number we can have an exact information about the goods, production date or best before date with serial production number. Which is the most important for traceability reasons. GSIN A number of logistics units grouped for transport reason. GINCA number of logistics units or shipments consolidated for transport reason and delivered as a whole. SSCCA number for logistics units.
