Overview

TIN (Tango Info Number) is a 14-digit numeric identifier used by tango.info and others.

The TIN scheme was designed by tango.info to be used instead of the GTIN (Global Trade Item Number) scheme where tango-related items need to be covered. It covers all items that GTIN does, plus tango items that GTIN does not cover due to the GTIN authority having not assigned them numbers.

The TIN set is a superset of the used GTIN set. Specifically, it contains all used numbers in the GTIN set, and it also contains special TINs (STIN).

usage

tango.info uses TINs in URLs, e.g. 

http://eng.tango.info/00724383741328
http://eng.tango.info/02480002201526

they are also needed for tagging with tools.tango.info.
