Showing a curated set of ~800 commonly requisitioned items, not the full 50,000+ item Marine Stores Guide (that catalogue is copyrighted by IMPA and Fuji Trading Co. and available only via a paid data licence). Need a code that isn’t here? Book a demo of Tidal’s full IMPA/ISSA matching engine.
Most delays in marine supply start with an ambiguous item description before an RFQ ever goes out. This tool exists to help buyers and chandlers get a quick, reliable answer to "what's the code for this?" without waiting on a licence agreement. It is intentionally a curated subset, not a substitute for the official Marine Stores Guide, for full coverage, bulk matching, and cross-reference against ISSA codes, that requires Tidal's licensed matching engine.

An IMPA code is the six digit number given to an item in the IMPA Marine Stores Guide, the catalogue ship managers, buyers and chandlers use to describe marine stores in the same way. The first two digits tell you the section of the guide the item sits in (codes starting 15, for example, are cloth and linen products), and the rest identifies the exact item and size. Quoting the code on a requisition removes the guesswork that comes with free text descriptions. For a fuller definition, see our IMPA code glossary entry.
Type the six digit number into the search box at the top of this page. The tool matches on the code as well as the description, so a full number returns the exact item and a partial number lists every code that contains those digits. If you only have a description, type a word from it instead and filter by category. To match a whole requisition at once, use IMPA code matching.
This free tool covers common items one at a time. Tidal's matching engine resolves full requisitions and catalogues against IMPA and ISSA in bulk, live in about a week.
