Product Description
A Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) is a unique identifier used to track and manage freight shipments, specifically for companies that receive and deliver shipments from international ports of entry.
All carriers involved in transporting goods across international routes, including airports, shipping yards and national ports of entry, are required to have a SCAC. They are also required to do business with US government agencies.
All SCAC’s are due for renewal annually from the date of assignment.
No, only a single SCAC is required to transport good across all international shipping routes.
Trucking companies that are exempt from needing a SCAC include:
• Transporting their own goods locally
• Not entering ports
• Not dealing with the federal government
• Not dealing with commercial shippers
