Look at the first three digits of the barcode on the product. They are deciphered as follows: 1 - country, 2 - manufacturer, 3 - goods, 4 - check digit, 5 - goods manufactured under license.

Look at the VIN code to find out the car manufacturer. This code consists of 17 characters and is divided into three components: WMI - international manufacturer code, VDS - descriptive part and VIS - distinctive part. In order to find out in which country this model came off the assembly line, you need to look at WMI - the first character of the number defines the geographical area in which the vehicle is manufactured, the second character serves to indicate the country in this geographical area, and the third identifies the manufacturer.

Pay attention to the IMEI of the cell phone, it is he who will tell you about which country the mobile device entered the market from. This code consists of 4 parts arranged in the following sequence: TAC, FAC, SNR, SP. FAC - 2 digits, country code of final assembly. For example, 80 - China, 19 \ 40 - Great Britain, 67 - USA.
note
Pay attention to other parts of the VIN code, because they will help you learn a lot about the fate of the car. So, VDS, consisting of six characters (from fourth to ninth), describes the properties of the car. The sequence and meaning of the characters in this part of the VIN code are entirely determined by the manufacturer. VDS vacancies are usually filled by the manufacturer with any characters chosen at their discretion.
The third part - VIS consists of the last eight digits of the number and provides information on the year of manufacture of the car (the year code is the first character in VIS). All remaining marks are the designation of the serial number of the vehicle assigned to it by the enterprise. With all this, it is worth paying attention to the fact that the last four characters of this part of the VIN are necessarily digital.
Useful advice
VIN-code is an individual number of the car. Among millions of cars of the same brand and color, you will not find a single one with the same VIN code. This serial number is used to identify the vehicle. It is used in the automotive industry of all countries of the world. So, this number can easily determine not only the country that manufactures a freshly purchased car, but also the year of manufacture and some of its other characteristics.
