# UN/ECE Recommendation 19 mode of transport code (`unece_rec19_transport_mode_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.

One-digit code of a mode of transport from UN/ECE Recommendation 19, used in customs declarations, UN/EDIFACT and UBL documents: 0 not specified, 1 maritime, 2 rail, 3 road, 4 air, 5 mail, 6 multimodal, 7 fixed transport installations such as pipelines, 8 inland water, 9 not applicable. A single digit only means this in a transport mode column, so the field name is the evidence.
