What is a Manufacturer Identification Code (MID)?

A Manufacturer Identification (MID) code is required by U.S. Customs for certain categories of goods—particularly textiles and apparel—due to specific trade, safety, and regulatory rules.

Please note that the responsibility for providing accurate information for customs clearance rests with the legal importer. Skypax acts solely as a forwarding service and is not a party to the original purchase, so we are not able to obtain or supply MID details on your behalf.

As the purchaser, you are in the best position to access the necessary information, such as the retailer you bought the items from or specific product details.

If the courier requests a MID code or any other customs‑related information, we recommend contacting the seller directly to obtain the required details.

Mandatory Import Categories (U.S. Customs) 

Textiles and Apparel: The MID code is legally required for all commercial shipments of textiles and clothing to track compliance with quotas and country-of-origin rules.

FDA-Regulated Products: Certain food, drug, and medical products regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) require an MID code to obtain a "Notice of FDA Action" for entry.

High-Value Shipments: It is generally mandatory for formal customs entries, which typically include shipments valued over $2,500 USD.
