DECISION
GUIDANCE
ON APPLICATION FOR REGISTRATION OF MANUFACTURER IDENTIFICATION CODES (MID) FOR
TEXTILE AND GARMENT EXPORTS TO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Pursuant to regulations of the U.S. Customs and
Border Protection (CBP) pertaining to declaration of MIDs of textile and
garment exports to the U.S., after agreeing with the General Department of
Customs, the Ministry of Trade herein provides traders manufacturing garment
and textile products for export to the US with the following instructions:
1. Subjects of
application: All of the manufacturers of categories of garment and
textile exports to the US (even including those with or without quotas) are
required to register MIDs with Export and Import Management Offices directly
subordinate to the Ministry of Trade.
1.1 . If any trader manufacturing categories of
garment and textile products subject to quotas for export to the US since 2003
has already obtained an MID which is made up in breach of the principles
referred to in the Appendix to the Notice hereunder, they are requested to
re-apply to regional Export and Import Management Offices when carrying out
customs procedures for textile and garment exports to the US.
1.2 . Traders manufacturing categories of garment
and textile products not subject to quotas for export, or exporting textile and
garment products for the first time, to the US can apply for MID registrations
to regional Export and Import Management Offices directly subordinate to the
Ministry of Trade by using the application form No. 1 attached to the Notice
hereunder.
1.3 . Pure-play traders not directly involved in
manufacturing of textile and garment exports have no MID. When acting as
exporters, they must enter MIDs of traders manufacturing export shipments on
export documents.
2. Identifying MIDs:
Manufacturers and exporters of garment and textile exports to the US may
collaborate with importers or customs brokers in determining MIDs according to
regulations.

2.2. Traders complete export declaration
forms that Customs Checkpoints specially design for specific manufacturers.
2.3. MIDs with the incorrect manufacturing
countries of pure-play traders would be deemed invalid to the extent that the
U.S. Customs can reject entry.
3. Searching for
information: Detailed instructions on how to invent an MID code are
given in Appendix 2 hereto. For more queries about how to create an MID code
and complete the procedures for MID registration, traders can send emails to
the address [email protected] of the Textile and Garment Quota Authority
of the Ministry of Trade or the regional Export and Import Management Offices
to get replies.
4. The
Ministry of Trade is requesting traders without MIDs to apply for registration
of MIDs to the regional Export and Import Management Offices at their earliest
convenience in order to avoid the situation in which customs clearance of
exports to the US is rejected.
5. In
order to prevent any act of fraud and illegal transshipment, trade, industry,
customs authorities and Vietnam Textile and Apparel Association shall
collaborate in carrying out the inspection of export shipments involved in any
suspicious violation. Where any fraudulent act committed when providing
the manufacturer’s information is discovered, they shall impose sanctions as
per regulations on textile and garment export, import or refer such offence to
the appropriate jurisdictional agency for legal actions to be taken.
The Ministry of Trade is notifying this Decision to
the regional Export and Import Management Offices and traders for
implementation purposes. In the course of implementation hereof, should there
be any difficulty that arises, they can consult the Ministry of Trade on
possible solutions./.

2 characters indicating the country’s name
(as per ISO)
Maximum 6 characters
Maximum 4 characters
3 initial characters of the city’s name
Detailed instructions on how to identify MID
characters as follows:
1. Manufacturing country: Use the ISO code
indicating the real country of origin of the export.
For Vietnam, enter VN. Canada is an exception
because CA is not its country code. There is a list of characters indicating
codes of Canada’s provinces.
2. Manufacturer’s name: If the
manufacturer’s name contains more than one character set, combine the first
three characters of the first and the second set together. If the
company’s name contains one character set, only the first three characters of
that set are used.

Amalgamated Plastics Corp. is encoded into
“AMAPLA;”
Bergstrom is encoded into “BER.”
If the company’s name is an abbreviation containing
at least two letters, all of these letters can be combined to become a
character set.
Example:
A B C Company is encoded into “ABCCOM.”
O.A.S.I.S. Corp. is encoded into “OASCOR.”
If the manufacturer’s English name contains a,
an, and, of and the, they can be omitted.
Example: “The Embassy of Spain” is encoded into
“EMBSPA.”
Parts of the company’s name that are linked by a
dash mark are considered as a character set.

Several names may contain numbers. Example:
“20th Century Fox” is encoded into
“20TCEN”
“Concept 2000” is encoded into “CON200.”
If several words forming the manufacturer’s name
are common nouns or indicate the manufacturer’s function or quality, they are
not used for inventing an MID.
For example, most of the textile factories’ names
in Macau begin with “Fabrica de Artigos de Vestuario” which means “Factory of
Clothing.” If a factory is named “Fabrica de Artigos de Vestuario JUMP HIGH
Ltd,”, the words “JUMP HIGH” are used for inventing an MID.
In Vietnam, if a company is named “Công ty trách
nhiệm hữu hạn may mặc Trường Minh” (Truong Minh Textile Co. Ltd.), the words
“Truong Minh” are used for inventing an MID and thus the company’s name is
encoded into “TRUMIN”.
3. Manufacturer’s address: Find the greatest
numeral in the address line and use the first four digits.
Example: In the address “11455 Main Street Suite
9999”, the digits “1145” are used.
The suite or PO Box number is if it has the
greatest value

None of the numerals indicating the address that
are written in words, like “One Thousand Century Plaza”, is used for inventing
an MID.
However, if the address is “One Thousand Century
Plaza Suite 345”, the digits “345” are used.
If there are commas or dashes between digits, these
marks can be omitted and then the digits are used. Example: In the addresses
like “12,34,56 Alaska Road” and “12-34-56 Alaska Road”, the digits “1234” are
used.
If there are spaces between digits, a space is
deemed as a separator between numeric sets and then the numeric set that has
the greater value is used. Example: In the address “Apt. 509 2727 Cleveland
St.”, the digits “2727” are used.
4. City's name: Use the first 3 alphabetic
characters forming the city’s name.
Example:
“Tokyo” is encoded into “TOK”
“St. Michel” is encoded into “STM”
“18-Mile High” is encoded into “MIL”

Noting that all of the digits in the city’s name
must be omitted.
If a country is also a city, the first three letters
forming the country’s name are used. For example, Hong Kong is encoded into
“HON”; Singapore into “SIN”; and Macau into “MAC”.
5. Other general principles:
Ignore all sentence separators, such as comma, horn
and other symbols (e.g. "&")
Ignore all of the abbreviations, for example, the
letter “S” in “Thomas S. Delvaux Company”.
Ignore all of the indicators standing in front of
any name or address.
Below are several examples of manufacturer’s names,
addresses and respective MID codes.

II. Application of MIDS to all manufacturers of
textile and garment exports to the U.S.:
Manufacturer’s MIDs help identify the product
origin. Therefore, in order to ensure that MIDs are granted to all of the
manufacturers of textile and garment exports to the U.S. (even including
non-quota ones), verifying that factories of these manufacturers exist is a
must.
