 Automated Broker Interface (ABI) processing requires an ABI status indicator. This indicator must be recorded in the entry
 type code block. It is to be shown for those entry summaries with ABI status only, and must be shown in one of the following
 formats:
           ABI/S = ABI statement paid by check or cash
           ABI/A = ABI statement paid via Automated Clearinghouse (ACH)
           ABI/P = ABI statement paid on a periodic monthly basis
           ABI/N = ABI summary not paid on a statement
           Note: Either a slash (/) or hyphen (-) may be used to separate ABI from the indicator (i.e., ABI/S or ABI-S).
 A "LIVE" entry is when the entry summary documentation is filed at the time of entry with estimated duties. Warehouse
 withdrawals are always considered “LIVE” entries. When a “LIVE” entry/entry summary is presented, an additional indicator is
 required to be shown in the following formats:
           ABI/A/L = ABI statement paid via ACH for a “live” entry/entry summary
           ABI/N/L = ABI “live” entry/entry summary not paid on a statement
           "LIVE" or "L" = non-ABI “live” entry/entry summary
 This block should not be printed or typed prior to presentation of the entry/entry summary. Use of this field is optional for ABI
 statement entries. The time stamp will serve as the entry summary date.
 The filer will record the proper team number designation in the upper right portion of the form above this block (three-character
 team number code). For ABI entry summaries, the team number is supplied by CBP’s automated system in the summary
 processing output message.
 Bond type "0" should be used in conjunction with surety code "999" for government entries secured by stipulation as provided
 for in 19 C.F.R. § 10.101(d).
 Bond type "8" or "9," as appropriate, should be used in conjunction with surety code "998" when cash or government securities
 are deposited in lieu of surety.
 Bond type "9" should be used in conjunction with surety code "999" when surety has been waived in accordance with 19 C.F.R.
 § 142.4 (c). A single entry bond should be attached to the entry summary package.
 If the carrier file does not contain a specific air carrier's code, write the designation "*C" for Canadian airlines, "*F" for other
 foreign airlines, and "*U" for U.S. airlines.
 These designations should be used only for unknown charter and private aircraft. When a private aircraft is being entered
 under its own power (ferried), the designation "**" will be used.
For merchandise arriving in the U.S. by means of transportation other than vessel or air, leave blank.
Do not record the name of a domestic carrier transporting merchandise after initial lading in the U.S.
 For merchandise arriving in the customs territory from a U.S. Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ), insert "FTZ" followed by the FTZ
 number. Use the following format: FTZ NNNN

 The country of origin is the country of manufacture, production, or growth of any article. If the article consists of material
 produced, derived from, or processed in more than one foreign territory or country, or insular possession of the U.S., it shall be
 considered a product of that foreign territory or country, or insular possession, where it last underwent a substantial
 transformation. For reporting purposes only on the CBP Form 7501, whenever merchandise has been returned to the U.S.
 after undergoing repair, alteration, or assembly under HTS heading 9802, the country of origin should be shown as the country
 in which the repair, alteration, or assembly was performed.
 When merchandise is invoiced in or exported from a country other than that in which it originated, the actual country of origin
 shall be specified rather than the country of invoice or exportation. When an entry summary covers merchandise from more
 than one country of origin, record the word "MULTI" in this block. In column 27, directly below the line number, prefixed with
 the letter "O," indicate the ISO code corresponding to each line item.
Where line items are segregated by invoice, indicate the ISO code corresponding to each invoice.

                           entry data only or border cargo selectivity entries.
                        6. Data elements intended specifically for other government agencies, e.g. FDA , DOT, and EPA which only
                           allow “CA” to be used as the origin code.
           Additional information related to reporting the correct ISO country code for goods of Canadian Origin can be found in
           CSMS# 97-000267 and 02-000071

 comprises the first four characters of the unique bill number, and is the Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC) of the bill’s issuer.
 The second element may be any length up to a maximum 12 characters and may be alpha and/or numeric. Use the following
 format: ABCD1234567
 If multiple bills are associated with an entry summary, list additional B/L or AWB numbers across the top of column 28 or on a
 separate attachment.
 For textile shipments, the manufacturer should be construed to refer to the actual manufacturer in accordance with 19 CFR
 102.23(a) and the Appendix to 19 CFR Part 102 – Textile and Apparel Manufacturer Identification.
 When an entry summary covers merchandise from more than one manufacturer, record the word "MULTI" in this block. In
 column 28, indicate the MID Code corresponding to each line item. If there is more than one vendor for a particular HTS
 number, separate line items will be required for each MID.
 The country of exportation is the country of which the merchandise was last part of the commerce and from which the

 acceptable when country of origin is U.S.
 For merchandise exported by air, record the month, day, and year (MM/DD/YYYY), on which the aircraft departed the last
 airport in the exporting country.
 For overland shipments from Canada or Mexico and shipments where the port of lading is located outside the exporting country

 CERTIFICATE in Column 33(d) instructions.
 When an entry summary covers merchandise with more than one IT, place additional IT numbers and associated IT dates
 across the top of column 28 or on a separate attachment.
 If merchandise moves on an IT into a U.S. FTZ, the IT number need not be recorded on the CBP Form 7501 when the
 merchandise is removed from the zone.
 When an entry summary covers merchandise with more than one IT, place additional IT numbers and associated IT dates
 across the top of column 28 or on a separate attachment.
 If a document has been waived prior to entry summary filing or is not required at time of entry summary, it should not be
 recorded as a missing document.
 Be aware that the following forms cannot be waived and filers shall be obligated to file the forms within the appropriate time
 limits:
             14 - Lease Statements (19 C.F.R. § 10.108)

 Block 21 is also required for derivative steel articles which are the products of Mexico subject to the Section 232 derivative steel
 measures.
 Report the ISO country code of the original location where the raw steel is first produced in a steelmaking furnace in a liquid
 state; and then poured into its first solid shape.
For derivative steel articles which are the products of Mexico, report either the ISO code or OTH (other).
 Report the ISO country code where the largest volume of new aluminum metal is produced from alumina (or aluminum oxide)
 by the electrolytic Hall-Héroult process.
 Filers must report an ISO code for primary country of smelt; and/or secondary country of smelt. Filers may not report N/A for
 both primary country of smelt and secondary country of smelt.
 If the imported aluminum is manufactured only from recycled aluminum, then filers should report N/A, and see instructions
 under Block 23, secondary country of smelt. CAUTION: Aluminum manufactured only from recycled aluminum is not very
 common. Filers must be able to provide manufacturing documents, upon request, to document the manufacturing process for
 the recycled aluminum product.
 If the imported aluminum is manufactured only from recycled aluminum, then filers should report the ISO code of the country
 reported as the country of origin of the imported article as the secondary country of smelt. CAUTION: Aluminum manufactured
 only from recycled aluminum is not very common. Filers must be able to provide manufacturing documents, upon request, to
 document the manufacturing process for the recycled aluminum product.
 Where the entry summary is used for merchandise that has been placed in GO, record the number assigned by CBP in the
 following format: G.O. NNNNNNNNNNNN
 Where the entry summary is used for merchandise placed in a bonded warehouse, record the name and the FIRMS code of the
 bonded warehouse where the goods will be delivered.
 For consolidated shipments, enter zeros in this block in the IRS EIN format shown above (i.e., 00-0000000). The reporting of
 zeros on the entry summary is limited to consolidated shipments and consolidated entry summaries.
 Note: For express consignment shipments and land border shipments, at the time of Entry Summary, record the name and address of the individual or firm for
 whose account the merchandise is shipped. The account of party is the actual owner, who is holder of title to the goods.
 In the space provided for indicating the state, report the ultimate state of destination of the imported merchandise, as known at
 the time of entry summary filing. If the contents of the shipment are destined to more than one state or if the entry summary
 represents a consolidated shipment, report the state of destination with the greatest aggregate value. If in either case, this
 information is unknown, the state of the ultimate consignee, or the state where the entry is filed, in that order, should be
 reported. However, before either of these alternatives is used, a good faith effort should be made by the entry filer to ascertain
 the state where the imported merchandise will be delivered. In all cases, the state code reported should be derived from the
 standard postal two-letter state or territory abbreviation.
On a warehouse withdrawal, the original warehouse entry number should be recorded at the bottom of this block.
 A "line number" refers to a commodity from one country, covered by a line which includes a net quantity, entered value, HTS
 number, charges, rate of duty and tax. However, some line numbers may actually include more than one HTS number and
 value. For example, many items in Chapter 98 of the HTS require a dual HTS number. Articles assembled abroad with U.S.
 components require the HTS number 9802.00.80 along with the appropriate reporting number of the provision in Chapters 1
 through 97.
 Also, many items in Chapter 91 of the HTS require as many as four HTS numbers. Watches classifiable under subheading
 9101.11.40, for example, require that the appropriate reporting number and duty rate be shown separately for the movement,
 case, strap, band or bracelet, and battery. A separate line item is also required for each commodity that is the subject of a
 Customs binding ruling. Proper format is listed under the instructions for HTS number.
 Where a reporting number is preceded by an alpha character designating a special program (i.e., NAFTA = “CA” or “MX”; GSP
 = “A”), that indicator is to be placed in column 27, directly below the line number. The special program indicator (SPI) should
 be right justified on the same line and immediately preceding 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 upon which the rate of duty is based.
 If more than one SPI is used, the primary indicator that establishes the rate of duty is shown first, followed by a period and the
 secondary SPI immediately following.
 If "MULTI" was recorded in block(s) 10, 14, 15, and/or 19, the appropriate codes or dates are to be shown in column 27 below
 the SPI. See specific instructions for those items with multiple elements.
 For a warehouse withdrawal, all copies of the CBP Form 7501 must be clearly marked “WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL FOR
 CONSUMPTION” at the top of column 28, followed by the words “FINAL WITHDRAWAL” if applicable. Next will be the
 “Bonded Amount” (quantity in the warehouse account before the withdrawal), “Withdrawal” (quantity being withdrawn), and
 “Balance” (quantity remaining in warehouse after withdrawal), as required in 19 C.F.R. § 144.32(a).
 Transfer of the right to withdraw the merchandise included on the CBP Form 7501 will be established by including the name,
 and hand-written or facsimile signature of the person primarily liable for payment of duties before the transfer is completed.
 This endorsement should be shown after the “Balance” in column 28. When there is deferred tax paid by 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: ########
           EFT Payment Date: month/day
 If the deferred tax will not be paid by EFT, the words “DEFERRED TAX” should show after the words “WAREHOUSE
 WITHDRAWAL FOR CONSUMPTION” at the top of this block.
 COLUMN 33)
 Do not record the column heading letters, only the required data in the proper format.
           A. HTS NUMBER
           Record the appropriate full 10-digit HTS item number. This item number should be left justified. Decimals are to be
           used in the 10-digit number exactly as they appear in the HTS. Use the following format: 4012.11.4000
           If more than one HTS number is required, follow the reporting instructions in the statistical head note in the
           appropriate HTS section or chapter.
           For each item covered by a binding tariff classification ruling, report the ruling number (provided in the applicable
           ruling letter) directly below the HTS number of the appropriate line item. Precede the ruling number with the
           abbreviation "RLNG." For an item classified under the same tariff classification number but not specifically covered by
           the binding tariff classification ruling, provide a separate line item breakout for that item.
           For those line items that require the reporting of more than one data element (i.e. category number and/or
           manufacturer identification number) in this same area, the hierarchy should be as follows:
                        Category Number
                        Manufacturer Identification Number
                        Ruling Number
           The correct format for reporting a ruling number or pre-approval indicator are listed below, respectively:
                        RLNG 654321
                        INDCTR 356780
           All other reporting requirements including, but not limited to, quota, visa, licensing, and other government agency
           requirements, should be reported along with the appropriate HTS number preceded with an SPI of "V." Both the "X"
           and "V" should be right justified in column 27, immediately preceding, and on the same line as the HTS number to
           which it applies.
           Case numbers with a suffix of 000 (ex. A-000-000-000) should only be used when the manufacturer and/or exporter
           falls under the “All Other” or country wide provisions of the AD/CVD case.
           The application of case numbers should follow this hierarchy under the following circumstances:
                        1. The exporter has its own rate, use the case assigned to the exporter;
                        2. The exporter does not have its own case, use the case assigned to the manufacturer/producer; OR the
                           case assigned to the exporter/manufacturer combination; or
                        3. Neither the exporter nor the manufacturer/producer nor the exporter/manufacturer combination has its
                           own case, use the “all others” case with a suffix of 000.
           When bonding is permitted and used, record the phrase "Surety Code" and the surety number [e.g., (Surety Code
           #123)]. If cash or government securities are deposited in lieu of surety, record "Surety Code #998."
           C. CATEGORY NUMBER
           Directly below the HTS number record the textile category for each separate line, as applicable. Use the following
           format: CAT NNN
           D. OTHER FEES
           Directly below the pertinent line information, on the same line as the applicable rate in column 33, identify any other
           fee, charge or exaction that applies. Examples include the beef fee, honey fee, pork fee, cotton fee, harbor
           maintenance fee (HMF), sugar fee, and merchandise processing fee (MPF). All fees, with the exception of the HMF,
           are to be reported at the line item level. The HMF may be shown either at the line item level or once at the bottom of
           column 29 on the first page of the summary.
 COLUMN 34)
 Do not record the column heading letters, only the required data in the proper format.
           A. GROSS WEIGHT
           Report gross shipping weight in kilograms for merchandise imported by ALL modes of transportation. The gross
           weight must be reported on the same line as the entered value.
           In the case of containerized cargo carried in lift vans, cargo vans, or similar substantial outer containers, the weight of
           such container should not be included in the gross weight of the merchandise.
           B. MANIFEST QUANTITY
           Where the entry summary serves as entry/entry summary, indicate the manifest quantity reported on the B/L or AWB.
           If multiple bills are associated with an entry/entry summary, indicate the manifest quantity reported on the B/L or AWB
           with the appropriate B/L or AWB number listed across the top of column 28.
 When an "X" appears in the column for units of quantity, no quantity is to be reported in column 31. (Gross weight must still be
 reported in Column 30.)
 When two units of measure are shown for the same article, report the net quantity for both in the specified unit of measure.
 The value of the article is to be reported with the first unit of measure unless a "V" follows the second which indicates the value
 of the article is to be reported with that unit of measure.
Example: Shipment consists of 50 dozen t-shirts, weighing 1 kg per dozen and valued at $10 per dozen. Report as follows:
 COLUMN 36)
 Do not record the column heading letters, only the required data in the proper format.
           A. ENTERED VALUE
           Record the U.S. dollar value as defined in 19 U.S.C. § 1401a for all merchandise.
Record the value for each line item on the same line as the HTS number.
           If the value required for assessment of AD/CVD is different from the entered value, record in parentheses the amount
           in this column, on the same line as the AD/CVD case number and rate. If the reported value is not the transaction
           value it should later be reported under a Reconciliation Entry (Type 09), if approved for reconciliation, or other
           alternate means.
           Report the value in whole dollars rounded off to the nearest whole dollar (if the total entered value for a line item is
           less than 50 cents report as "0"). Dollar signs are omitted.
Report the total entered value for all line items in block 35.
           This value shall be shown in whole numbers for each HTS number. It is to be placed beneath the entered value and
           identified with the letter ‘C’ (e.g., C550). Dollar signs are omitted.
           Charges are not required to be reported for merchandise entered by mode of transportation code 60 (passenger,
           hand-carried).”
           C. RELATIONSHIP
           Record whether the transaction was between related parties, as defined in 19 C.F.R. § 152.102(g), by placing a "Y" in
           the column for related and an "N" for not related (the words "related" and "not related" may be used in lieu of "Y" or
           "N"). "Y" or "N" may be recorded once, at the top of column 32, when applicable to the entire entry summary or may
           be recorded with each line item below entered value and charges. "Y" or "N" must be recorded with each line item
           when the relationship differs for line items.
 COLUMN 37)
 Do not record the column heading letters, only the required data in the proper format.
           A. HTS RATE
           Record the rate(s) of duty for the classified item as designated in the HTS: free, ad valorem, specific, or compound.
                               COLUMN 29                         COLUMN 33
                           6201.19.1010 Free                 6201.19.9060 2.8%
           B. AD/CVD RATE
           Record the AD/CVD rate(s) as designated by the Department of Commerce, International Trade Administration,
           directly opposite the respective AD/CVD case number(s) shown in column 29.
           C. I.R.C. RATE
           Record the tax rate(s) for the classified item as designated in the HTS, or record the CBP approved metric conversion
           tax rate.
           If I.R. tax is deferred, precede I.R.C. rate with "DEF." Show the amount in column 34 and in block 38 but do not
           include in the "Total" in block 40.
           Deferred I.R. tax under 26 U.S.C. § 5232(a) should be identified as "IRS DEF 5232(a)," at the bottom of columns 33
           and 34 on the first page of the CBP Form 7501. The deferred I.R. tax amount should not be shown in column 34,
           block 38, or block 40.
           For specific information pertaining to formatting, refer to the Quota Book Transmittals (QBT) that are issued at the
           beginning of each quota period or to Textile Book Transmittals (TBT). The TBT is issued when new trade legislation
           or free trade agreements are implemented. These references can be found at:
                        http://www.cbp.gov/xp/cgov/import/textiles_and_quotas/
           If merchandise is covered by more than one visa/certificate, then separate line items must be shown for each visa/
           certificate number. All visa numbers and those certificates required to be eligible for a reduced rate of duty associated
           with a tariff rate quota must be recorded in column 33. The above instructions do not apply to agriculture licenses
           issued by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
           When the country of origin differs from the country of export and the visa/certificate is issued based on the date of
           export, or the quota is based on the date of export, report the date of export from the country of origin in column 33.
           The date of exportation from the exporting country will continue to be reported in block 15.
           The letters N and A represent numeric and alpha characters respectively. The letter B represents a blank space. For
           format 1, the first position is the license type. The third and fourth positions are the commodity type code. Positions
           six through eight represent the license serial number. The tenth position is the license year. Positions two, five and
           nine are hyphens. Format 2 is identical to the above except position four is blank.
 The applicable collection code must be indicated on the same line as the fee or other charge or exaction. Report the fees in
 the format below:
           AD                                                                      012
           CVD                                                                     013
           Tea Fee                                                                 038
           Misc. Interest                                                          044
           Beef Fee                                                                053
 There is no de minimis collection for the MPF. There is an established minimum and maximum due on each formal entry,
 release or withdrawal from warehouse for consumption. Report the actual MPF due unless the perspective amount due is less
 than the established minimum (record the minimum), or exceeds the established maximum (record the maximum).
 There is a de minimis on the HMF if it is the only payment due on the entry summary. If such is the case, HMF of $3 or less will
 not be collected. The grand total user fee in this block should be reported as the total fee amount of all line items, but the
 amount in block 39 should be reported as $0.
 Goods originating under a Free Trade Agreement (FTA) may be exempt from MPF. To obtain this exemption, the importer
 must indicate the appropriate SPI for each HTS number in Column 27.
If no duty, tax, or other charges apply to the transaction, record "0" in this block.
HMF is required to be paid on all warehouse entry summaries (type 21), but is not due on re-warehouse (type 22) entries.
 When the entry summary consists of more than one page, the signature of the declarant, title, and date must be recorded on
 the first page.
 Certification is the electronic equivalent of a signature for data transmitted through ABI. This electronic (facsimile) signature
 must be transmitted as part of the entry summary data.
 All documents should be stapled together in the upper left-hand corner by the filer of the entry summary or entry/entry
 summary.
 A minimum of two copies of a warehouse withdrawal for consumption, CBP Form 7501, will be presented (importer’s copy and
 permit copy). If not paying via ACH, a cashier’s copy is also required. Non-ABI submissions must include a fourth copy for
 statistical purposes. If deferred tax is involved, at least one extra copy of the CBP Form 7501 must be included.
 If a filer prepares line items by invoice (i.e., group line items by invoice), the summary may be prepared with values for each
 invoice in lieu of a grand summation at the end of the entry summary.
 INFORMAL ENTRY
 Informal entries may be made on the CBP Form 7501. The following blocks are to be completed for informal entries where
 applicable: [1, 2, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 14, 16, 17, 23, 26, 27, 28, 29A, 30A, 30B, 31, 32A, 33A, 33C, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, and
 41]. For ABI transmissions, blocks 9,15, and 20 are also required.
 When goods are released on a CBP Form 3461 and subsequently followed up by an informal entry summary (CBP Form
 7501), the entry date (date of release) must be shown in block 7 on the CBP Form 7501.
Block 21, Location of Goods, will be filled in only if merchandise has been placed in a general order warehouse.
No statistical copy of the CBP Form 7501 is required for an informal entry summary.
 APPRAISEMENT ENTRY
 When the CBP Form 7501 is used as an appraisement entry as, defined in 19 C.F.R. § 143.11, the following declaration
 requesting appraisement under 19 U.S.C. §1498(a)(10), should be added to the body of the CBP Form 7501 or attached on top
 as follows:
           I hereby request appraisement under 19 U.S.C. §1498(a)(10). I declare, to the best of my
           knowledge and belief, that this entry and the documents presented therewith set forth all the
           information in my possession, or in the possession of the owner of the merchandise described
           herein, as to the cost of such merchandise; that I am unable to obtain any further information as to
           the value of the said merchandise or to determine its value for the purpose of making formal entry
           thereof; that the information contained in this entry and in the accompanying documents is true
           and correct; and that the person(s) named above is the owner of the same merchandise.
                        Signature
                        Title
           To the Port Director: The merchandise described above has been examined and the contents
           and values are noted above.
                        CBP Officer
                        Date
 Invoices may be separately identified in the body of the CBP Form 7501 and the continuation sheet across column 28 followed
 by the line items appropriate to that invoice.
 Blanket permits may be issued to withdraw (1) merchandise from duty-free stores for exportation, (2) merchandise for
 diplomatic use, and (3) merchandise for aircraft or vessel supply.
 Applications for Blanket Permits shall be filed in triplicate on the CBP Form 7501. The words “APPLICATION FOR BLANKET
 PERMIT TO WITHDRAW” must be printed in capital letters or stamped in the top margin.
 Withdrawal for blanket permits shall bear the words “APPLICATION FOR BLANKET PERMIT TO WITHDRAW.” When the last
 withdrawal under a blanket permit is filed, the words “LAST WITHDRAWAL UNDER BLANKET PERMIT” shall be depicted on
 the CBP Form 7501.
 REWAREHOUSE ENTRY
 Where the CBP Form 7501 is filed as a rewarehouse entry, blocks 8, 12, 19 and 20 are not required to be completed.
 Example: Entry filer code B76 would transform to 276 for check digit computation purposes.
           A. Using entry filer code B76 (276) and a transaction number 0324527 as an example, the check digit is computed as
              follows:
                        Number for which check digit will be computed is: 2 7 6 0 3 2 4 5 2 7
           B. Start the calculation process by multiplying every other position by 2. (Essentially, all even positions will be
              multiplied by 2.)
           *Note: High order zeros are a significant element in the computation 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 disregard the digit in the tens column.
                         7   0   2          5      7
                        x2 x2 x2           x2     x2    (Multiply by 2)
                        14   0   4         10     14
                        +1                 +1     +1    (Add 1 if total is greater than 9)
                        15 + 0 + 4 +       11 +   15    (Disregard digit in the tens column)
           C. Add results.
                        5 + 0 + 4 + 1 + 5 = 15
           F. Subtract the units digit (last digit) derived in step E (32) from 10. The result is the check digit.
                        10 - 2 = 8
           G. Normally, the result of the arithmetic will be a single digit. In instances when the units digit subtracted from the
              sum in step E is a 0, the check digit will be 0.
           The resulting entry number from the example would be shown as follows:

 For example, if a filer has been authorized to use a check digit factor of 1, using the example above, B76-0324527-8, the check
 digit (8) would be changed to (9).
 The Office of Field Operations, Trade Compliance and Facilitation, Broker Management Branch authorizes the Check Digit
 Factor.
 To begin, for the first 2 characters, use the ISO code for the actual country of origin of the goods. The exception to this rule is

 Next, use the first three characters from the first two “words” of the name. If there is only one “word” in the name, then use only
 the first three characters from the first name. For example, Amalgamated Plastics Corp. would be “AMAPLA;” Bergstrom would
 be “BER.”
 If there are two or more initials together, treat them as a single word. For example, A.B.C. Company or A B C Company would
 yield “ABCCOM.” O.A.S.I.S. Corp. would yield “OASCOR.” Dr. S.A. Smith yields “DRSA,” Shavings B L Inc. yields “SHABL.”
 In the manufacturer name, ignore the English words a, an, and, of, and the. For example, “The Embassy of Spain” would yield
 “EMBSPA.”
 Portions of a name separated by a hyphen are to be treated as a single word. For example, “Rawles-Aden Corp.” or “Rawles –
 Aden Corp.” would both yield “RAWCOR.”
 Some names will include numbers. For examples, “20 th Century Fox” would yield “20TCEN” and “Concept 2000” yields
 “CON200.”
 Some words in the title of the foreign manufacturer’s name should not be used for the purpose of constructing the MID. For
 example, most textile factories in Macau start with the same words, “Fabrica de Artigos de Vestuario” which means “Factory of
 Clothing.” For a factory named “Fabrica de Artigos de Vestuario JUMP HIGH Ltd,” the portion of the factory name that
 identifies it as a unique entity is “JUMP HIGH.” This is the portion of the name that should be used to construct the MID.
 Otherwise, all of the MIDs from Macau would be the same, using “FABDE,” which is incorrect.
 Similarly, many factories in Indonesia begin with the prefix PT, such as “PT Morich Indo Fashion.” In Russia, other prefixes are
 used, such as “JSC,” “OAO,” “OOO,” and “ZAO.” These prefixes should be eliminated for the purpose of constructing the MID.
 Next, find the largest number on the street address line and use up to the first four numbers. For example, “11455 Main Street
 Suite 9999” would yield “1145.” A suite number or a post office box should be used if it contains the largest number. For
 example, “232 Main Street Suite 1234” would yield “1234.” If the numbers in the street address are spelled out, such as “One
 Thousand Century Plaza,” there will be no numbers in this section of the MID. However, if the address is “One Thousand
 Century Plaza Suite 345,” this would yield “345.”
 Finally, use the first three alpha characters from the city name. “Tokyo” would be “TOK,” “St. Michel” would be “STM,” “18-Mile
 High” would be “MIL,” and “The Hague” would be “HAG.” Notice that numerals in the city line are to be ignored.
 For city-states, use the country name to compose the first three alpha characters. For examples, Hong Kong would be “HON,”
 Singapore would be “SIN,” and Macau would be “MAC.”
 General Rules:
 Ignore all punctuation, such as commas, periods, apostrophes and ampersands. Ignore all single character initials, such as the
 “S” in “Thomas S. Delvaux Company.” Ignore leading spaces in front of any name or address.
