Standard Carrier Alpha Code - (SCAC)
The Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) is a unique two - to - four- letter code assigned to transportation companies for identification purposes. The SCAC is required for U.S. Customs entry, Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), intermodal interchange agreements, when doing business with many shippers, on rate tariffs, filed with regulatory agencies, and doing business with the U.S. Government. Bicehouse Consulting can file your application for a Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) number for a fee of $125.00 which includes the registration fee cost. The SCAC number must be renewed every July.
