The Universal Postal Union's S10 standard defines a 13-character format for international postal tracking numbers. Each tracking number contains a 2-letter service indicator, 8-digit serial number, check digit, and 2-letter country code. The standard includes specific rules for service indicators, barcode formatting requirements, and checksum algorithms to prevent errors. This system enables seamless tracking across different national postal services worldwide.
