In the MMT RDM we have multiple Location types to cover those involved in the movement of goods, some well known locations are definied below as are the attributes for this class.
In MMT the locations inherit from the LogisticsLocation class
The location is identifed by either or both of the fields:
ID - The UN/LOCODE i.e. GBLIV
Name - The text name for the location i.e. Liverpool
The definitions of a location are key for common understanding across borders and for legal basis, the definitions are published under a library called the Core Components Library (CCL) and adhere to the 'controlled vocabulary'
The below is a list of commonly used locations in the transport and logistics domain and throughout the message structures and transport contracts.

MMT Name: SupplyChainConsignment.FinalDestination.LogisticsLocation
