This form is authorized by U.S. law 19 U.S.C. 1484 and is required by 19 CFR 142.11 and CFR 141.61. Its purpose is to identify merchandise entering U.S. commerce and to record the amount of duty.

Items 1 to 5 involve basic identification information, including entry number, type of entry, date of abstract, and so on. Among them, the entry number consists of three digits of the declarant code, seven digits of the entry number and one digit of the verification code, the calculation of which is explained in detail in Appendix 1. These figures and codes appear to be simple, but each of them has its own specific meaning and calculation method.

Items 6 to 20 are about logistics and transportation information, including port codes, entry dates, import carriers, etc. This information needs to be consistent with your shipping documents, and any inconsistencies may lead to customs clearance problems. In particular, item 10 Country of Origin and item 13 Manufacturer's ID (MID) are important for Taiwanese manufacturers.

Items 21 to 43 cover the description of goods, tariff calculation and declaration. This section is the heart of the form and is directly related to the amount of duty you need to pay. It is important to note that the description of goods in Column 28 must be detailed enough to be categorized according to the appropriate statistical report number in the HTS. The visa number/certificate of conformity/export certificate in column 33 is particularly important for specific goods such as textiles.

Instead of arguing against it, it's better to recognize that it's a complicated but essential document.
