What is a MID code?

MID code is short for Manufacturers Identification code and must be shown on the commercial invoice. It’s used as an alternative to the full name and address of a manufacturer, shipper or exporter and is always required for U.S. formal customs entries.

The MID code is used on paperwork presented to U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the good's recipient.
