Items assembled abroad using U.S. components require HTS No. 9802.00.80 and the corresponding reporting numbers specified in Chapters 1 through 97.

In addition, many items in HTS chapter 91 require up to four HTS codes. For example, a watch classifiable under subheading 9101.11.40 would be required to show the appropriate reporting number and rate of duty for the movement, case, strap, band or bracelet, and battery, respectively. Separate line items are also required for each commodity that is the subject of a binding Customs determination. The correct format is listed under the description of the HTS number.

If the report number is preceded by an alphabetic character that designates a special item (i.e., NAFTA = "CA" or "MX"; GSP = "A"), the indicator should be placed in column 27 If NAFTA="CA" or "MX"; GSP="A", the indicator should be placed in column 27, directly below the line number. The SPI-special program indicator (SPI) should be right-aligned in the same row, immediately before the HTS number to which it applies. If more than one HTS number is required for a line item, place the SPI on the same line as the HTS number on which the tax rate is based. If more than one SPI is used, then the primary indicator that identifies the tax rate should be displayed first, followed by the period, and immediately followed by the secondary SPI.

If "MULTI" is recorded in items 10, 14, 15, and/or 19, the corresponding code or date should appear in column 27 below the SPI. For items with multiple elements, see specific instructions.

Column 28: DESCRIPTION OF MERCHANDISE

For warehouse withdrawals (warehouse withdrawals), all copies of Form CBP 7501 must be clearly labeled "WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL FOR CONSUMPTION" at the top of Column 28 and, if applicable, followed by "FINAL WITHDRAWAL". This is followed by "Bonded Amount" (the amount in the warehouse account prior to pickup), "Withdrawal" (the amount to be picked up), and "Balance "(Balance) (the amount remaining in the warehouse after the withdrawal), as required by 19 C.F.R. § 144.32(a).

The assignment of the right to withdraw the merchandise (the right to withdraw the merchandise) contained on Form CBP 7501 will be identified by including the name, handwritten or faxed signature of the person primarily responsible for paying the duties prior to the completion of the assignment. Such endorsement shall appear after the Balance in Column 28. When there is a deferred tax payment made through Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), the following statement is required in this section:

Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Tax Payment Deferred XXX Distillers, Inc. IRN: XX-XXXXXXX-XX ALC: ##### Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Tax Payment Deferred XXX Distillers, Inc. ######## Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) Payment Date EFT Payment Date: month/day

If more than one HTS number is needed, follow the reporting instructions in the description of the statistical headings in the corresponding HTS chapter.

If the HTS number requires SPI, see Column 27 for instructions.

For each item (item) covered by a binding tariff classification ruling (binding tariff classification ruling), report the ruling number (provided in the applicable ruling letter) directly below the HTS number for the corresponding line item. Precede the ruling number with the abbreviation "RLNG". For an item that is classified under the same tariff classification number but is not specifically covered by a binding tariff classification ruling, provide a separate line item for that item.

For line items that need to report multiple data elements (i.e., class number and/or manufacturer's identification number) in the same area, the hierarchy should be as shown below:

• Category Number
• Manufacturer Identification Number
• Ruling Number

The correct format for reporting a ruling number or pre-approved indicator is as follows:

• INDCTR 356780
• RLNG 654321

For kits (sets) that are categorizable under GRI 3(b) or 3(c) of the HTS, report in column 30 the HTS number under which the tax rate for the set is based. Precede this number with an "X" for SPI. Report the total value, quantity, and cost of the classified goods, as well as all applicable duties, taxes, and fees in the appropriate columns. In addition, each article in the kit (including those designated with an "X" prefix) should be reported on a separate line as if it were individually categorized. Precede these HTS numbers with a "v" for SPI. Report the quantity and value of each item associated with the "v" SPI.

All other reporting requirements, including but not limited to quotas, visas, permits, and other government agency requirements, should be reported with the appropriate HTS number and SPI "v"." Both X " and "v" should be right-aligned in column 27, immediately before the HTS number and on the same line as the applicable HTS number.

B. AD/CVD CASE NUMBER
Indicate the corresponding AD/CVD case number assigned by the Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration, directly below the HTS number. The following format should be used:

• A000-000-000 -or- A-000-000-000 (AD)
• C000-000-000 -or- C-000-000-000 (CV)

Case numbers with the suffix 000 (e.g., A-000-000-000) should be used only if the manufacturer and/or exporter falls under the "All Other" or country-wide requirements of the AD/CVD case.

The application of case numbers should follow this hierarchy in the following cases:

• Exporters have their own rate, using the case assigned to the exporter.
• The exporter does not have its own case (case) and uses a case (case) assigned to the manufacturer/producer; or a case assigned to the exporter/manufacturer combination; or
• Exporters, manufacturers/producers, or exporter/producer combinations do not have their own cases and use the "all others" case with the suffix 000.

When a guarantee (bonding) is allowed and used, record "Guarantee Code (Surety Code)" and the guarantee number [e.g., (Surety Code #123)]. If cash or government securities are used instead of bonding, record "Surety Code #998″.

C. CATEGORY NUMBER
Record the textile category (if applicable) for each individual line directly below the HTS number. Use the following format: CAT NNN

D. Other fees (OTHER FEES)
Directly below the relevant line of information, on the same line as the applicable rate in column 33, specify any other fee, charge or levy that applies. This includes, for example, the Beef Fee, the Honey Fee, the Pork Fee, the Cotton Fee, the Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF), the Sugar Fee, and the Cargo Handling Fee (MPF). All fees are reported by line item except HMF, which can be shown at the line item level or at the bottom of column 29 on the first page of the summary.

Column 30

Do not record column header letters; record only the required data in the correct format.

A. Gross weight (GROSS WEIGHT)
Report the total gross shipping weight of merchandise imported by all modes of transportation in kilograms. The gross weight must be reported on the same line as the entered value.

If multiple values are displayed on a line item, record the gross weight on the first tariff number of the line item. Record the gross weight on the same line as the first tariff number of the line item. Gross weight information must be provided for each line item. If the gross weight for each line item is not available, estimate and report the approximate shipping weight. The sum of the estimated weights should equal the actual gross shipping weight. For multi-line summaries, the total gross weight does not need to be displayed.

For containerized goods carried in lift vans, freight vans or similar large external containers, the weight of such containers shall not be included in the total gross weight of the commodity.

B. MANIFEST QUANTITY
If the entry summary is an entry /

For entry/entry summary, indicate the number of manifests reported on the Bill of Lading (B/L) or AWB.

If multiple bills are associated with an entry/entry summary, indicate the number of manifests reported on the bill of lading (B/L) or AWB and list the corresponding bill of lading or AWB number at the top of column 28.

Column 31: Net Quantity in HTS Units (NET QUANTITY IN HTS UNITS)

When the unit of measure for an HTS number is specified in the HTS, the net quantity should be reported in the specified unit of measure and the unit of measure should be shown after the net quantity figure. For statistical purposes, record quantities in whole numbers unless fractions of a unit are required for other CBP purposes. Fractions must be expressed as decimals.

When an "X" appears in the units of quantity column, the quantity does not need to be reported in column 31. (Gross weight must still be reported in column 30).

When two units of measure are displayed for the same item, report the net quantity of both in the specified unit of measure. The value of the item should be reported in the first unit of measure unless the second unit of measure is followed by a "V" indicating that the value of the item should be reported in that unit of measure.

If the value reported is not the value of the transaction, it should be reported later under Reconciliation Entry (Category 09) or other alternative if reconciliation is approved.

Report values in whole dollars, rounded to the nearest whole dollar (if the total value entered for a line item is less than 50 cents, it is reported as "0"). Omit the dollar sign.

Report the total entered value for all line items in item 35.

B. Charges (CHGS) (CHARGES (CHGS))
Record in U.S. dollars the aggregate cost of freight, insurance, and all other charges, costs, and expenses incurred in bringing the shipment out of the carrier's side at the exporting country's port of export and placing the shipment in the U.S. side at the first U.S. port of entry. These costs are incurred when the goods are taken from the carrier's side at the exporting country's port of export and placed next to the carrier at the first U.S. port of entry. Excludes U.S. import duties. For overland shipments originating in Canada or Mexico, these charges shall include freight, insurance, and all other fees, costs, and expenses incurred in transporting the merchandise from the place of origin in Canada or Mexico (where the merchandise began its journey to the U.S.) to the first U.S. port of entry.

For each HTS number, the value should be displayed as an integer. It should be placed below the entered value and labeled with the letter "C" (e.g., C550). Omit the dollar sign.

No fee is required for merchandise imported under mode of transportation code 60 (foot, hand).

D. VISA NUMBER/CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY/EXPORT CERTIFICATE
Record the letter "V" or "C" followed by the visa/certificate numbers associated with each line. Visa/certificate numbers usually consist of nine alphanumeric characters. The first character is numeric, the second and third characters are alphabetic, and the fourth through ninth characters vary, depending on the trade agreement.

The first position of the signature/certificate represents the year of export, the year the certificate was validated (e.g., date of presentation), or a subgroup such as African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) claims. The second and third positions represent the ISO country of origin code. The fourth through ninth positions represent a unique number issued by the foreign government.

For specific information on the format, please refer to the Quota Book Transmittals (QBT - Quota Book Transmittals) or Textile Book Transmittals (TBT - Textile Book Transmittals) published at the beginning of each quota period.TBTs are published when new trade legislation or free trade agreements are implemented. TBTs are issued when new trade legislation or free trade agreements are implemented. These references can be found at the following websites:U.S. Customs and Border Protection

TEMPORARY IMPORTATION UNDER BOND (TIB) ENTRY

TIB Entry Summaries (Type 23) are processed in CBP's automated system after reviewing TIB eligibility. The data required to be reported in the TIB entry summary is the same data that is normally reported in a regular consumption entry (RCE). In addition, 19 C.F.R. §10.31(a (3) provides for additional information to be displayed on the TIB entry summary. As a reminder, the information that is usually subject to

Subject to quota goods are also subject to quota restrictions when entering the country under the TIB, regardless of whether they are consumption entries or withdrawals from warehouse for consumption.

Appendix 1

CHECK DIGIT COMPUTATION FORMULA

The check digit is calculated from the entry filer codes and the transaction numbers (the first 7 digits of the entry number) (entry number). Entry filer codes containing alpha characters must be converted to their numeric equivalents before the check digit is calculated. The numerical equivalent of each alpha charter is shown below:

• A = 1
• B = 2
• C = 3
• D = 4
• E = 5
• F = 6
• G = 7
• H = 8
• I = 9
• J = 1
• K = 2
• L = 3
• M = 4
• N = 5
• O = 6
• P = 7
• Q = 8
• R = 9
• S = 2
• T = 3
• U = 4
• V = 5
• W = 6
• X = 7
• Y = 8
• Z = 9

Example: For the purpose of calculating the check digit, the entry filer code B76 will be converted to 276.

A. For example, the check digit is calculated as follows for the Immigration Requisitioner Code B76 (276) and Transaction Code 0324527:

The number of the check digit to be calculated is: 2 7 6 0 3 2 4 5 2 7

B. Start the calculation by multiplying every other digit by 2. (In essence, multiply all even digits by 2.)

*Note: Higher zeros are an important element in the calculation process and must be included in the transaction number. If the result of the multiplication is greater than 9, add 1 to the sum, but ignore the number in the tens place.

C. Add Results.

5 + 0 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 15

D. Calculate all odd numbers from the beginning: 2 7 6 0 3 2 4 5 2 7

2 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 17

E. Add the sum of Steps C and D together.

15 + 17 = 32

F. Subtract 10 from the single-digit value (last digit) obtained in step E (32). The result is the check digit.

10 – 2 = 8

G. Normally, the result of the operation will be a single digit. If the number of digits subtracted from the sum in step E is 0, the check digit will be 0.

The entry number generated in this example is as follows: B76-0324527-8

CHECK DIGIT COMPUTATION FORMULA (Chart)

Use entry number RO7-1010035 to calculate the check digit using this chart:

CHECK DIGIT FACTOR

Some filers are authorized to use a check digit factor of 1 or higher. Essentially, the check digit factor is provided to filers who have run out of check digits for their filer code. The Check Digit Factor allows filers to calculate a check digit and then add one or two for a new check. Once authorized, the check digit factor will be posted to the filer's national filer maintenance record.

For example, if the filer is authorized to use Check Digit Factor 1, using the example above, B76-0324527-8, Check Digit (8) would change to (9).

The Office of Field Operations, Trade Compliance and Facilitation, and the Broker Management Branch are responsible for authorizing the use of check digit coefficients.

Appendix 2

rules for constructing the manufacturer's identification code

These instructions specify the method of constructing an identification code based on the name and address of the manufacturer or shipper. The code is not to exceed 15 characters in length, and the insertion of spaces is not permitted.

First, use the ISO code for the actual country of origin of the goods for the first two characters. The exception is Canada. "CA" is not a valid country for the manufacturer's code; instead, it should be shown as one of the appropriate province codes listed below:

• Alberta ALBERTA XA
• BRITISH COLUMBIA XC
• Manitoba MANITOBA XM
• New Brunswick XB
• Newfoundland (Labrador) XW
• Northwest Territories NORTHWEST TERRITORIES XT
• Nova Scotia NOVA SCOTIA XN
• NUNAVUT XV
• Ontario ONTARIO XO
• Prince Edward Island PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND XP
• Quebec QUEBEC XQ
• Saskatchewan SASKATCHEWAN XS
• Yukon Territory YUKON TERRITORY XT

Next, the first three characters of the first two words of the name are used. If there is only one word in the name, only the first three characters of the name are used. For example, Amalgamated Plastics Corp. would be "AMAPLA"; Bergstrom would be "BER".

If there are two or more initials together, they are treated as one word. For example, A.B.C. Company or A B C Company would be "ABCCOM", O.A.S.I.S. Corp. would be "OASCOR", Dr. S.A. Smith would be "DRSA", and Shavings B L Inc. would be "SHABL". Dr. S.A. Smith will be "DRSA" and Shavings B L Inc. will be "SHABL".

Ignore the English words a, an, and, of and the in the manufacturer's name. e.g. "The Embassy of Spain" would be "EMBSPA".

Parts of a name separated by hyphens will be treated as a single word. For example, "Rawles-Aden Corp." or "Rawles-Aden Corp." would be "RAWCOR". ".

Some names will include numbers. For example, "20th Century Fox" would be "20TCEN", and "Concept 2000" would be "CON200". CON200".

Some words in the names of foreign manufacturers should not be used to construct MIDs. For example, most textile factories in Macao begin with "Fabrica de Artigos de Vestuario", which means "Factory of Clothing". meaning "Factory of Clothing". For factories called "Fabrica de Artigos de Vestuario JUMP HIGH Ltd", the part of the factory name that identifies it as the only entity is "JUMP HIGH". This is the part of the name that should be used to construct the MID. Otherwise, all MIDs from Macau would be the same, using "FABDE", which is incorrect.

Similarly, many factories in Indonesia begin with the prefix PT, for example "PT Morich Indo Fashion". In Russia, other prefixes are also used, such as "JSC", "OAO", "OOO" and "ZAO". ". In order to construct the MID, these prefixes should be eliminated.

Next, find the largest number in the street address line and use the first four digits. For example, "11455 Main Street Suite 9999" would be "1145". If the suite number or post office box contains the largest digit, that number should be used. For example, "232 Main Street Suite 1234" would be "1234". If the numbers in the street address are spelled out, such as "One Thousand Century Plaza", then there will be no numbers in this section of the MID. However, if the address is "One Thousand Century Plaza Suite 345", it will be "345".

When a comma or hyphen separates numbers, all punctuation marks are ignored and the remaining numbers are used. For example, "12,34,56 Alaska Road" and "12-34-56 Alaska Road" would be "1234". When a number is separated by a space, the space is a separator and should be selected as a character.

Choose the larger of the two numbers. For example, "Apt. 509 2727 Cleveland St." would be "2727".

Finally, the first three alphabetic characters (alpha characters) of the city name are used. "Tokyo" will be "TOK", "St. Michel" will be "STM". "18-Mile High" will be "MIL", "The Hague" will be "HAG The Hague" will be "HAG". Note that the numbers in the city rows will be ignored.

For city-states, use the name of the country/region to form the first three alpha characters. For example, "Hong Kong" would be "HON", "Singapore" would be "SIN "Hong Kong" would be "HON", "Singapore" would be "SIN", and "Macau" would be "MAC".

General Rules:

Ignore all punctuation marks, such as commas, periods, apostrophes, and & signs. Ignore all single-character initials, such as the "S" in "Thomas S. Delvaux Company". Ignore any spaces before a name or address.
