Multimodal cargo classification and codes

1 Scope

China's national classification and codes for intermodal transport cargo. A cargo classification is the layer on which everything else in a transport system depends: the tariff, the equipment allocation, the handling requirements, the segregation rules for dangerous goods, the customs treatment and the statistics all key off what the goods are. In intermodal transport the classification has to survive the transfer between modes, each of which has historically had its own - a railway's commodity codes, a shipping line's, a road haulier's and a customs authority's are different systems answering different questions about the same box. Reconciling them is what a national intermodal classification does, and China's need is acute because its rail-road-sea network moves an enormous volume across those boundaries and because the international corridors add several more jurisdictions to the reconciliation.

This document gives the classification principles and methods for multimodal transport goods, and stipulates the code structure, coding methods, classification and codes. This document applies to the statistics, processing and exchange of multimodal transport cargo information.
