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

BLOCK 3) SUMMARY DATE

Record the month, day, and year (MM/DD/YYYY) on which the entry summary is filed with CBP. The record copy of the entry
summary will be time stamped by the filer at the time of presentation of the entry summary. In the case of entry summaries
submitted on an ABI statement, only the statement is required to be time stamped.

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.

BLOCK 4) SURETY NO.

Record the three digit numeric code that identifies the surety company on the Customs Bond. This code can be found in block
7 of the CBP Form 301, or is available through CBP’s automated system to ABI filers, via the importer bond query transaction.
For U.S. Government importations and entry types not requiring surety, code 999 should appear in this block. When cash or
Government securities are used in lieu of surety, use code 998.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 2 of 22

 BLOCK 5) BOND TYPE
Record the single digit numeric code as follows:
0 - U.S. Government or entry types not requiring a bond
8 - Continuous
9 - Single Transaction

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.

BLOCK 6) PORT CODE

Record the U.S. port code utilizing the Schedule D, Customs District and Port Codes, listed in Annex C of the Harmonized
Tariff Schedule (HTS). The port is where the merchandise was entered under an entry or released under an immediate
delivery permit. Use the following format: DDPP (no spaces or hyphens).

BLOCK 7) ENTRY DATE

Record the month, day, and year (MM/DD/YYYY) on which the goods are released, except for immediate delivery, quota
goods, or where the filer requests another date prior to release (see 19 C.F.R. § 141.68). It is the responsibility of the filer to
ensure that the entry date shown for entry/entry summaries is the date of presentation (i.e., the time stamp date). The entry
date for a warehouse withdrawal is the date of withdrawal.

BLOCK 8) IMPORTING CARRIER

For merchandise arriving in the U.S. by vessel, record the name of the vessel that transported the merchandise from the
foreign port of lading to the first U.S. port of unlading. Do not record the vessel identifier code in lieu of the vessel name.
Pursuant to General Statistical Note 1 (a) (ii) of the HTS, the reporting of the vessel flag is not required. For merchandise
arriving in the U.S. by air, record the two-digit IATA alpha code corresponding to the name of the airline which transported the
merchandise from the last airport of foreign lading to the first U.S. airport of unlading.

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

BLOCK 10) COUNTRY OF ORIGIN

Record the country of origin utilizing the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) country code located in Annex B of
the HTS.

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.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 4 of 22

 Special Note for Goods of Canadian Origin
The ISO country code “CA” for Canada for goods of Canadian Origin will no longer be reported as a country of origin.
As of May 15, 1997, the Canadian Province codes will replace the code “CA”.

The following conditions in which the “CA” is acceptable, in addition to the Province Codes:
1. Withdrawals of goods from warehouses for consumption.
2. Entries of goods from Foreign Trade Zones into the Commerce of the U.S.
3. Informal entries.
4. Imports of Canadian origin arriving from countries other than Canada.
5. Cargo selectivity entries not certified from entry summary, i.e. full cargo selectivity entries provided with
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

BLOCK 11) IMPORT DATE

For merchandise arriving in the U.S. by vessel, record the month, day, and year (MM/DD/YYYY) on which the importing vessel
transporting the merchandise from the foreign country arrived within the limits of the U.S. port with the intent to unlade.

For merchandise arriving in the U.S. other than by vessel, record the month, day, and year (MM/DD/YYYY) in which the
merchandise arrived within the U.S. port limits.

For merchandise entering the customs territory for consumption from a U.S. FTZ, in compliance with 19 C.F.R. § 146.63, if the
import date is not the date of removal from the zone, leave blank.

For merchandise moving from a U.S. FTZ to a bonded warehouse in the customs territory, in compliance with 19 C.F.R. §
146.64, report the month, day, and year (MM/DD/YYYY) of importation.

BLOCK 12) BILL OF LADING (B/L) OR AIR WAYBILL (AWB) NUMBER

Record the number assigned on the manifest by the international carrier delivering the goods to the U.S.

Each B/L number for vessel or rail shipments must conform to a unique format comprised of 2 elements. The first element
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.

BLOCK 13) MANUFACTURER ID (MID)

This block is provided to accommodate the manufacturer/shipper identification code. This code identifies the manufacture/
shipper of the merchandise by a constructed code. The method for deriving the code can be found in Appendix 2. For the
purposes of this code, the manufacturer should be construed to refer to the invoicing party or parties (manufacturers or other
direct suppliers). The name and address of the invoicing party, whose invoice accompanies the CBP entry, should be used to
construct the MID. The manufacturer/shipper identification code is required for all entry summaries and entry/entry summaries,
including informal entries, filed on the CBP Form 7501.

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.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 5 of 22

 Non-textile shipments may use the invoicing party or parties (manufacturers or other direct suppliers).

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.

BLOCK 14) EXPORTING COUNTRY

the vessel that carried the merchandise to the U.S.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 7 of 22

 When an entry summary covers merchandise with more than one foreign port of lading, record the word "MULTI" in this block.
In column 27, directly below the line number, indicate the code corresponding to each line item. When line items are
segregated by invoice, indicate the code corresponding to each invoice.

When merchandise is transported by a mode of transportation other than vessel, leave blank.

For merchandise entering the customs territory from a U.S. FTZ, leave blank.

BLOCK 20) U.S. PORT OF UNLADING

Record the U.S. port code where the merchandise was unladen from the importing vessel, aircraft or train. Do not show the
name of the port instead of the numeric code.

For merchandise arriving in the U.S. by means of transportation other than vessel, rail or air, leave blank.

For merchandise arriving in the customs territory from a U.S. FTZ, leave blank.

BLOCK 21) LOCATION OF GOODS/General Order (GO) Number

Where the entry summary serves as entry/entry summary, record the pier or site where the goods are available for
examination. For air shipments, record the flight number. Where the Facilities Information and Resources Management
(FIRMS) codes are available, they must be used in lieu of pier/site.

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.

BLOCK 22) CONSIGNEE NUMBER

Record the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Employee Identification Number (EIN), Social Security Number (SSN), or CBP
assigned number of the consignee. This number must reflect a valid identification number filed with CBP via the CBP Form
5106 or its electronic equivalent. When the consignee number is the same as the importer of record number, the word
"SAME" may be used in lieu of repeating the importer of record number.

Only the following formats shall be used:

IRS EIN NN-NNNNNNN
IRS EIN with suffix NN-NNNNNNNXX
SSN NNN-NN-NNNN
CBP assigned number YYDDPP-NNNNN

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.

Consignee Number.

BLOCK 24) REFERENCE NUMBER

Record the IRS EIN, SSN, or CBP assigned number of the individual or firm to whom refunds, bills, or notices of extension or
suspension of liquidation are to be sent (if other than the importer of record and only when a CBP Form 4811 is on file). Proper
format is listed under the instructions for Consignee Number. Do not use this block to record any other information.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 8 of 22

 BLOCK 25) ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE NAME AND ADDRESS
At the time of Entry Summary, record the name and address of the individual or firm purchasing the merchandise or, if a
consigned shipment, to whom the merchandise is consigned. If those parties are not known, indicate to whose premises the
merchandise is being shipped. If this information is the same as the importer of record, leave blank.

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.

BLOCK 26) IMPORTER OF RECORD NAME AND ADDRESS

Record the name and address, including the standard postal two-letter state or territory abbreviation, of the importer of record.
The importer of record is defined as the owner or purchaser of the goods, or when designated by the owner, purchaser, or
consignee, a licensed customs broker. The importer of record is the individual or firm liable for payment of all duties and
meeting all statutory and regulatory requirements incurred as a result of importation, as described in 19 C.F.R. § 141.1(b).
The importer of record shown on the invoice should be the same party on the CBP Form 7501, unless the CBP form reflects a
licensed customs broker.

COLUMN 27) LINE NUMBER

Record the appropriate line number, in sequence, beginning with the number 001.

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.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 9 of 22

 COLUMN 28) DESCRIPTION OF MERCHANDISE
A description of the articles in sufficient detail to permit the classification thereof under the proper statistical reporting number in
the HTS should be reported at the top of column 28. The standard definitions from the CBP HTS database are acceptable for
this requirement.

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 29)
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.

Where an SPI is required for an HTS number, see Column 27 instructions.

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

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 10 of 22

 For sets, which are classifiable in accordance with GRI 3(b) or 3(c) of the HTS, report in column 30 the HTS number
from which the rate of duty for the set is derived. Precede this number with an SPI of "X." Report with that part of the
set so classified the total value, quantity and charges associated with the set, as well as all applicable duties, taxes,
and fees, in the appropriate columns. In addition, each article in the set (including the article designated with a prefix
of "X") should be reported on a separate line as if it were separately classified. Precede these HTS numbers with an
SPI of "V." Report the quantity and value attributed to each article associated with the "V" SPI.

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.

B. AD/CVD CASE NUMBER

Directly below the HTS number, indicate the appropriate AD/CVD case number(s), as assigned by the Department of
Commerce, International Trade Administration. The following format shall be used:
A000-000-000 -or- A-000-000-000 (AD)
C000-000-000 -or- C-000-000-000 (CV)

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 30)
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.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 11 of 22

 In cases where more than one value is shown on a line item, record the gross weight on the same line as the first tariff
number for the line item. Gross weight information must be provided for each line item. If the gross weight is not
available for each line item, the approximate shipping weight shall be estimated and reported. The total of the
estimated weights should equal the actual gross shipping weight. For multi-line summaries, the grand total gross
weight need not be shown.

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.

COLUMN 31) NET QUANTITY IN HTS UNITS

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

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 29 COLUMN 30 COLUMN 31

6205.20.2065 50 doz. 500
50 kgs

COLUMN 32)
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.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 12 of 22

 B. CHARGES (CHGS)
Record the aggregate cost in U.S. dollars of freight, insurance and all other charges, costs and expenses incurred
while bringing the merchandise from alongside the carrier at the port of exportation in the country of exportation and
placing it alongside the carrier at the first U.S. port of entry. Do not include U.S. import duties. In the case of overland
shipments originating in Canada or Mexico, such costs shall include freight, insurance, and all other charges, costs
and expenses incurred in bringing the merchandise from the point of origin (where the merchandise begins its journey
to the United States) in Canada or Mexico to the first U.S. port of entry.

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 33)
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.

D. VISA NUMBER/CERTIFICATE OF ELIGIBILITY/EXPORT CERTIFICATE

Record the letter “V” or “C” followed by the visa/certificate number associated with each line. Visa/certificate numbers
are generally nine alphanumeric characters in length. The first character is numeric, the second and third character is
alphabetic, and the fourth through the ninth character varies, depending on the trade agreement.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 13 of 22

 The first position of the visa/certificate represents either the year of export, the year for which the certificate is in effect
(e.g. date of presentation), or a grouping such as those required for African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA)
claims. The second and third positions represent the ISO country of origin code. The fourth through the ninth
positions represent a unique number issued by the foreign government.

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.

E. AGRICULTURE LICENSE NUMBER

For merchandise subject to agriculture licensing, report the license number in column 33 directly below the tariff rate
for that line item.
The license number will be in a ten-character format, including hyphens and spaces. The two acceptable formats are
as follows:
(1) N-AA-NNN-N or (2) N-AB-NNN-N
(1-cc-234-5) (1-c -234-5)

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.

BLOCK 34) DUTY AND I.R. TAX

Record the estimated duty, AD/CVD, I.R. tax, and any other fees or charges calculated by applying the rate times the dutiable
value or quantity. The amount shown in this column must be directly opposite the appropriate HTS rate(s), AD/CVD rate, I.R.
rate and other fees or charges. This includes those instances where bonding is permitted for AD/CVD. Where bonding is
accomplished, enclose the AD/CVD amounts in parentheses. Where I.R. tax is deferred under 26 U.S.C. § 5232(a), leave
blank (See instructions for column 33). Dollar signs are omitted.

OTHER FEE SUMMARY FOR BLOCK 39

For entries subject to payment of AD/CVD and/or any of the various fees, each applicable fee must be indicated in this area,
and the individual amount of each fee must be shown on the corresponding line. AD/CVD amounts are to be included in the
summary only when they are actually deposited. Bonded amounts should not be included. The Block 39 Summary must be on
the first page if the entry summary consists of more than one page.

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

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 14 of 22

Mango 108
Informal Entry MPF 311
Dutiable Mail Fee 496
Merchandise Processing Fee (MPF) 499
Manual Surcharge 500
Harbor Maintenance Fee (HMF) 501

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.

BLOCK 35) TOTAL ENTERED VALUE

Report the total entered value for all line items. This information is required on all entry summaries.

BLOCK 36) DECLARATION OF IMPORTER OF RECORD OR AUTHORIZED AGENT

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 15 of 22

 BLOCK 40) TOTAL
Record the sum of blocks 37, 38, and 39. Do not include any I.R. deferred tax shown in column 34 and block 38. Do not
include any AD/CVD that has been bonded.

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.

BLOCK 41) DECLARANT NAME, TITLE, SIGNATURE AND DATE

Record the name, job title, and signature of the owner, purchaser, or agent who signs the declaration. Record the month, day,
and year (MM/DD/YYYY), when the declaration is signed.

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.

BLOCK 42) BROKER/FILER INFORMATION

This block is reserved for a broker or filer name, address and phone number.

BLOCK 43) BROKER/IMPORTER FILE NO.

This block is reserved for a broker or importer internal file or reference number.

PREPARATION OF ENTRY DOCUMENTS

The filer must submit entry documents for both entry summaries and entry/entry summaries in an ordered manner. To ensure
uniformity in this matter, entry documents are to be arranged in the following order:
Check

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.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 16 of 22

 SUMMARY OF ENTERED VALUE/CURRENCY CONVERSION
The summary of entered value and currency conversion (if appropriate) may be shown on a worksheet attached to the entry
summary or across column 28. On a multi-page entry summary, show the summary of entered values on the last page
following the last line item.

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.

DELIMITERS FOR LINE ITEMS

A solid line, broken line, or a blank line to facilitate the processing of the entry summary must separate each line item on the
CBP Form 7501 and continuation sheet.

ADDITIONAL DATA ELEMENTS

Filers of the CBP Form 7501 may, on their own initiative, provide additional or clarifying information on the form provided such
additional information does not interfere with the reporting of those required data elements. Such additional or clarifying
information may be placed in any location on the form solely at the discretion of the filer provided it does not interfere with any
required data element. In such instances, CBP will not mandate what the additional information may be or where it is to be
placed on the form.

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.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 17 of 22

 WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL
If the warehouse withdrawal is for the personal use of diplomatic, consular, other privileged personnel, or for public international
organizations, the CBP Form 7501 must clearly state “WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL FOR DIPLOMATIC USE” at the top of
Column 28, followed by the words “DS Form 1504 Attached.”

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.

NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL

The CBP Form 7501 is used to file a NAFTA Duty Deferral claim (entry type 08). Refer to the Duty Deferral Handbook or
contact the local CBP Office for complete instructions on how to complete the form for Duty Deferral purposes.

CONSOLIDATED ENTRY SUMMARY

Where the CBP Form 7501 entry summary covers more than one release, (19 C.F.R. § 142.17) report each entry or release
number separately, followed by the associated line item number and information.

TEMPORARY IMPORTATION UNDER BOND (TIB) ENTRY

TIB Entry Summaries (type 23) are processed in CBP’s automated system after review for TIB eligibility. The data required to
be reported on a TIB entry summary are the same as those usually reported on a regular consumption entry. Also, 19 C.F.R. §
10.31(a)(3) identifies additional information that is required to be shown on a TIB entry summary. As a reminder, merchandise
that is normally subject to quota, either on consumption entries or on withdrawals from warehouse for consumption, is also
subject to quota when entered on a TIB.

CBP Form 7501 (5/22) Instructions Page 18 of 22

 Appendix 1

CHECK DIGIT COMPUTATION FORMULA

Check digits are computed from the filer code and transaction numbers (the first 7 digits of the entry number). Entry filer codes
containing alpha characters must be transformed to a numeric equivalent prior to computing the check digit. The numeric
equivalent for each alpha charter is as follows:
A=1 H=8 O=6 V=5
B=2 I=9 P=7 W=6
C=3 J=1 Q=8 X=7
D=4 K=2 R=9 Y=8
E=5 L=3 S=2 Z=9
F=6 M=4 T=3
G=7 N=5 U=4

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

D. Total all odd positions starting at the beginning: 2 7 6 0 3 2 4 5 2 7

2 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 2 = 17

E. Add the sums from steps C and D.

15 + 17 = 32

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:
B76-0324527-8

CHECK DIGIT FACTOR

There are some filers who are authorized to use a check digit factor of 1 or higher. Essentially, the check digit factor is
provided to filers who have exhausted the check digits for their filer code. The check digit factor allows the filer to compute the
check digit then add one or two for the new check. When authorized, the check digit factor is posted to the filer’s national filer
maintenance record.

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.

These instructions provide for the construction of an identifying code for a manufacturer or shipper from its name and address.
The code can be up to 15 characters in length, with no inserted spaces.

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
Canada. “CA” is NOT a valid country for the manufacturer code; instead, show as one of the appropriate province codes listed
below:
ALBERTA XA
BRITISH COLUMBIA XC
MANITOBA XM
NEW BRUNSWICK XB
NEWFOUNDLAND (LABRADOR) XW
NORTHWEST TERRITORIES XT
NOVA SCOTIA XN
NUNAVUT XV
ONTARIO XO
PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND XP
QUEBEC XQ
SASKATCHEWAN XS
YUKON TERRITORY XY

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.”

 When commas or hyphens separate numbers, ignore all punctuation and use the number that remains. For examples,
“12,34,56 Alaska Road” and “12-34-56 Alaska Road” would yield “1234.” When numbers are separated by a space, the space
is a delimiter and the larger of the two numbers should be selected. For example, “Apt. 509 2727 Cleveland St.” yields “2727.”

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.
