Tracking number: what it is and how to follow an international shipment
The tracking number is the unique code that identifies a parcel along its whole route and lets you check where it is, from the origin hub to delivery.
A cross-border shipment often has several codes: the marketplace order number, the international operator's code and the local last-leg code. When one operator covers the whole route, a single code tracks the parcel end to end.
Every scan at a hub, at customs or at delivery creates a tracking event with date, place and status.
