{{Short description|Identifier number for logistics}}

The '''serial shipping container code''' (SSCC) is an 18-digit number used to identify logistics units. In order to automate the reading process, the SSCC is often encoded in a [[barcode]], generally [[GS1-128]], and can also be encoded in an [[RFID]] tag. It is used in electronic commerce transactions.

The '''serialSerial shippingShipping containerContainer codeCode''' (SSCC) is an 18-digit number used to identify logistics units. In order to automate the reading process, the SSCC is often encoded in a [[barcode]], generally [[GS1-128]], and can also be encoded in an [[RFID]] tag. It is used in electronic commerce transactions.

The SSCC comprises an extension digit, a [[GS1]] company prefix, a serial reference, and a [[check digit]]. It is all numeric.

It is applicable to the [[Packaging and labeling#Packaging types|tertiary level of packing]].{{huh|date=March 2017}}

The SSCC is commonly used in the [[advance ship notice]] (ASN) [[electronic data interchange|EDI]] transaction.

The SSCC should not be confused with the [[Global Returnable Asset Identifier|GRAI]] or [[Global Individual Asset Identifier|GIAI]] code of the (serialized) objects within the SSCC object: the SSCC is created in general during packing at a certain party (shipping party) and loses its value after receipt by or after unpacking by another party (the receiving party). The serialized objects within the SSCC container can always be identified by their GRAI or GIAI identifier, unless that GRAI or GIAI code is no longer valid, either because the serialized object itself is destroyed or its identifier is no longer valid.
