Where to find a container number

Find the container identifier on the equipment, Bill of Lading, arrival notice, or carrier documents.

Typical format

A container number normally contains four letters followed by seven digits, such as ABCD1234567.

Check the container and documents

The identifier is displayed on the container doors and usually appears on the B/L, arrival notice, and carrier tracking record.

Enter the number exactly

A single incorrect character can return no tracking result, so confirm the complete reference before searching.
