Location of goods codes

The Location of Goods field is what tells TSW where to send the delivery notifications.


A ‘Location of goods’ refers to the premises where the consignment will be held awaiting clearance. This could be a port or a freight forwarder's store. The premises must be both a CCA and a MPI Transitional Facility (TF) but you can use either premises code in the Location of goods field. For valid ports you can also use UNLOCODES e.g. NZAKL.

A valid premises code must always be shown in the ‘Location of goods’ field.

An UNLOCODE should be shown when the location of the shipment is the port of loading/discharge the shipment is departing/arriving by sea.

This location will be electronically notified when the consignment clearance or movement is approved.

This list shows the current Location of Goods Code list - Effective 22 November 2024 (XLSX 24 KB) for approved premises in each port region.

This document (TSW Electronic Delivery Notifications) is a guide for industry to understand how to notify the right parties electronically using TSW.
