Guadeloupe Port Codes and UN/LOCODE Structure
City and Terminal-Level Codes
A code may identify a city, port area or recognized maritime location rather than a single berth. Cargo instructions should therefore be checked against the carrier booking, terminal and final delivery requirements.
How to Verify a Port Code
Cross-check the location in the UNECE UN/LOCODE framework and compare it with the Ecer Freight port directory before preparing shipping documents.
