Judging by the assigned number, you can determine which path to it. Thus, a number consisting of 14 digits without spaces and letters suggests that the parcel travels only in Russia. If it goes from abroad, it is assigned an international identifier, consisting of 9 digits and 4 Latin letters. The number assigned in the mail is called the mail identifier or track number.
