# GNG cargo code (Harmonized Nomenclature of Goods) (`gng_code`)

> **Draft.** Draft records have not been reviewed yet and may be incomplete or wrong; do not treat them as authoritative for legal or compliance decisions.

Eight-digit code of a cargo in the Harmonized Nomenclature of Goods (ГНГ) used for international rail freight. Digits 1-6 follow the Harmonized System (hs_code), and digits 7-8 follow the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union. Russian Railways map every GNG code to codes of the national nomenclature ETSNG (ru_etsng_code). Any eight digits match, so use the field name or context.
