Sec.  102.23  Origin and Manufacturer Identification



    (a) Textile or Apparel Product Manufacturer Identification. All 

entries of textile or apparel products listed in Sec.  102.21(b)(5) must 

identify on CBP Form 3461 (Entry/Immediate Delivery) and CBP Form 7501 

(Entry Summary), and in all electronic data transmissions that require 

identification of the manufacturer, the manufacturer of such products 

through a manufacturer identification code (MID) constructed from the 

name and address of the entity performing the origin-conferring 

operations pursuant to Sec.  102.21 or Sec.  102.22, as applicable. This 

code must be accurately constructed using the methodology set forth in 

the Appendix to this part, including the use of the two-letter 

International Organization for Standardization (ISO) code for the 

country of origin of such products. When a single entry is filed for 

products of more than one manufacturer, the products of each 

manufacturer must be separately identified. Importers must be able to 

demonstrate to CBP their use of reasonable care in determining the 

manufacturer. If an entry filed for such merchandise fails to include 

the MID properly constructed from the name and address of the 

manufacturer, the port director may reject the entry or take other 

appropriate action.

    (b) Incomplete or insufficient information. If the port director is 

unable to determine the country of origin of a textile or apparel 

product, the importer must submit additional information as requested by 

the port director. Release of the product from CBP custody will be 

denied until a determination of the country of origin is made based upon 

the information provided or the best information available.

    (c) Date of exportation. For quota, visa or export license 

requirements, and statistical purposes, the date of exportation for 

textile or apparel products listed in Sec.  102.21(b)(5) will be the 

date the vessel or carrier leaves the last port in the country of 

origin, as determined by application of Sec.  102.21 or Sec.  102.22, as 

applicable. Contingency of diversion in another foreign territory or 

country will not change the date of exportation for quota, visa or 

export license requirements or for statistical purposes.
