It is suggested that the following structure be adopted: The first three characters (an3) would be taken up by the UN/LOCODE ( 4 ) location name and the last three by a national alphanumeric subdivision (an3). If this subdivision is not used, the characters ‘000’ should be inserted. Example : BEBRU000: BE = ISO 3166 for Belgium, BRU = UN/LOCODE location name for the city of Brussels, 000 for the unused subdivision. 5/8.
