The present document describes a coding structure to identify unambiguously and uniquely Customers (Consignees and Consignors), involved in the rail transport chain. The defined coding structure of CustomerIdent meets the requirements and vision of the TAF-TSI. It can be used in various applications and for different purposes (documents, messages, marking, etc.). The coding structure allows the identification of customers and, if existing, their branches. The coding structure has sufficient flexibility to satisfy the expected demand for codes requested in the forthcoming decades in the current EU single market, its possible expansion and operation with non-EU member States.
