GS1 identification key for a consignment: logistic units that a freight forwarder or carrier moves together as one transport assignment. It is a GS1 Company Prefix followed by a consignment reference, up to 30 characters of GS1 character set 82 in total; the first four characters are digits because the shortest GS1 Company Prefix has four. In barcodes it is carried by Application Identifier (401); the element string is the pattern gs1_ai_401.
