Should the CCN be less than 8 characters, zero’s must be added in front of the number. • Unique Consignment Reference (UCR) – generated by the exporter or exporter’s freight agent. Updated 2010-05-05

  15. How to generate an UCR • 1st character = last digit of the year of export – i.e., ‘0’ for 2010. • Next 2 characters = the Society for World Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) country code of the country of export , i.e. ‘ZA’ for South Africa. • Next 8 characters = CCN, ‘00011111’ • Note! If the customs client code is less than 8 digits, then zeroes (0’s) must be added in front to make up 8 digits. Updated 2010-05-05

  16. How to generate an UCR … • Last 24 characters = the unique number of the document that the exporter will use to link export proceeds with a specific export shipment, can be: invoice, quotation, order, shipment no., foreign customer code, etc. - e.g., ‘454’ if the invoice number is the link. • The four parts combined make up the UCR - 0ZA00011111454. • It must be on the SAD 500. 0ZA00011111454 Updated 2010-05-05
