Add/Update Manufacturer Summary

The
ABI Add Manufacturer Summary
screen allows you to add and update name and address information for Manufacturers within the CBP database. This screen is opened by choosing
Add/Update Manufacturer
Summary from the
ABI
menu.
A Manufacturer ID (MID) Code is required when filing Customs documentation such as e214, 7501 and QP/WP information. Any MID code used in these documents that is not in CBP’s system will cause CBP to reject the filing.
To utilize this functionality, clients must be operational for CBP Form 5106. Clients should contact their ABI Client Rep at CBP to see if their set-up at CBP needs to be updated before CBP will accept their transmissions.
If a client is not authorized at CBP, their transmission will remain in the “transmitted” status and a message will appear on the
ABI Exceptions Log
screen.
