DSCSA – GLN#
Drug Supply Chain Security Act (DSCSA) Compliance
August 27, 2025, all shipments of RX products must include serialized
transaction data (EPCIS) and a valid GS1 Global Location Number (GLN) for every shipping location.
What is a Global Location Number (GLN) and why do I need one?
The Global Location Number (GLN) is a unique 13-digit numeric code assigned to a location. This identifier helps
businesses track products, optimize processes, and provide visibility to transactions and shipments as they move
throughout the supply chain.
How to Provide Your GLN Numbers
Please choose the option that is easiest for your team.
NOTE: If you have locations that do not receive RX products through TCC Pharma, this
does not apply to your supply product (non-RX) purchases at this time.

that location must have a separate, unique GLN.
