Country, Currency & UN LOCODE Lookup

Reference snapshot of ISO and UN/LOCODE standards. Confirm port codes with your carrier or shipping line.

Find the ISO country codes, currency codes and major UN/LOCODE ports you need for shipping bills, invoices and export documentation. Search by country, ISO code, currency or port name — the reference database lives in your browser — no API calls after the page loads.

Quick Answer: Which codes go on your export documents?

Every export document carries an ISO country code (ISO 3166 — IN for India), an ISO currency code (ISO 4217 — USD, EUR, BDT) on the invoice, and a UN/LOCODE on shipping bills and bills of lading (5 characters: 2-letter country + 3-letter place, e.g. INNSA = Nhava Sheva). Search below — results update as you type.

Verify before you file (September 2026): UNECE publishes UN/LOCODE updates twice a year (current edition 2025-1), and ISO country and currency codes change rarely but do change. This curated reference covers major trading partners — always confirm the exact port code your carrier or shipping line uses for the route before filing the shipping bill.

About LOCODEs: a UN/LOCODE is a 5-character code — two letters for the country (ISO 3166) plus three for the location (e.g. INNSA = Nhava Sheva, India). Airports and sea ports share the same system. Codes shown here cover major trading locations; check UNECE for the full list.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UN/LOCODE and where do I use it?

Is the database the complete UN list?
No — this is a curated reference covering major trading partners and their principal ports. For the complete UN/LOCODE list visit the official UNECE portal.
