read-write tag into which data specific to a containerized cargo shipment can be stored

NOTE 1 The tag and the data uploaded in it are the responsibility of the shipper.

NOTE 2 The tag may be affixed to the container by the shipper or, per the shipper’s instructions, by the party that physically performs the loading (“stuffing”) of the container.

NOTE 3 Data capabilities are flexible and may, at the shipper’s discretion, include destination, routing, conveyance or other transportation information, cargo information (including hazardous material information, where applicable) or other trip-specific information.

NOTE 4 The tag is intended to perform reliably from the point of stuffing of the container to delivery destination, and to be removed by the consignee upon final delivery. The tag may be re-usable.
