What is a Cargo Restriction Code?

A Cargo Restriction Code is a specific code or designation assigned to a cargo item based on certain characteristics or restrictions that apply to its transportation. These codes help in the identification and handling of goods with special requirements or considerations. Cargo restriction codes can indicate restrictions related to dangerous goods (hazardous materials), temperature-sensitive items (perishables), security-sensitive cargo, or any other factors that affect the transportation, storage, or handling of the goods. These codes assist in proper cargo planning, loading, and compliance with relevant regulations.
