Can the MID number be used in lieu of the name and address for the Manufacturer (or Supplier) element?
No, CBP will not accept a MID Number in lieu of a full name and address to fulfill the Manufacturer (Supplier) requirement on the ISF. However, entities such as manufacturers, importers, supplies, etc. may register their information with Dunn & Bradstreet to obtain a DUNS number which can be used in lieu of a full name and address.
