Canadian exporters to the United States are advised that a new Customs-assigned Importer Identification Numbering System has been adopted by the U. S. Customs Service. The new automated numbering system--designed for the standardization of data and the uniformity of input--replaces and updates one which required the importer's name, address and file number.
