Prefix
TLLU
Owner or operator
TAL International

The four-letter prefix TLLU appears at the start of ISO container identification numbers and is associated with TAL International.

A complete container number combines the owner prefix, six-digit serial number, and check digit. The prefix identifies registered equipment ownership and does not always identify the carrier currently transporting the container.

Use the CargoEnter container validator to check the number structure before starting shipment tracking.

TLLU container number format

A container number starting with TLLU has the four-letter prefix, a six-digit serial number, and one check digit, for example TLLU1234567.

Who uses TLLU containers

TLLU is registered to TAL International. Leased or exchanged equipment can move with a different shipping line, so the prefix alone does not identify the carrier of a shipment.
