Serbian translation:идентификациони број
Explanation:
unit number = a number identifying the "unit" (a container, a piece of equipment ...)

this could be the "serial number" given by the manufacturer, but very often companies that own hundreds or thousands of containers or machinery or vehicles allocate their own "ID numbers" that are usually far shorter than manufacturer's serial numbers, that make more sense to them and are easier to use (truck #2378 is more conveniant than using the VIN number, or even the plate number).

You can't go wrong with "идентификациони број" - makes no difference what kind of numbering is used (фабрички серијски број, инвентарски број ...)
