The 047 prefix identifies TAP Air Portugal as the issuing carrier, while the following 8 digits constitute the unique shipment identifier, with the final digit being a check digit calculated using the mod-7 method (the 7-digit serial number divided by 7, with only the remainder used). This prefix means the shipment will be handled by TAP Air Portugal or their partner carriers throughout the cargo transportation process.

TAP Air Portugal transports live animals under the IATA Live Animals Regulations (LAR), which govern container, ventilation, and species-specific handling requirements for livestock, day-old chicks, zoo animals, household pets, and laboratory animals.
