When the number is less than the required positions, zeros will be entered to the left to reach the total length. Example: an operation registered with investment number N° 4 on form 020302, the number to be entered is 0203020000000004.

Annex I
INFORMATION ON CUSTOMS RECORDS OF IMPORT DISPATCH OFFICIALIZATIONS AVAILABLE TO ENTITIES a) The import dispatch information provided by ARCA can be consulted by financial entities by accessing the Internet site (https://www3.bcra.gov.ar) as established in point 1.2.1. of Section 1 of “Submission of Information to the Central Bank”. b) Basic identification data (Dispatch N°, CUIT, importer's company name, and nominated entity) will be available through a specific query for all entities. c) The entity recorded with the BCRA as the last entity nominated by the importer for monitoring may additionally access the following data through specific queries:
i) Import dispatch cover sheet information ii) Dispatch item-level information iii) Information on advantages, options, commercial invoices, and complementary data d) Through the update download modality from the Internet site, entities will be able to access all data for import dispatches for which they have been nominated. When there are updates that need to be reported to the entity (new dispatches, dispatch cancellations, dispatch data modifications, assignments from another entity), the following files will be made available: EEEEEAAAAMMDDCARATULAS.TXT; EEEEEAAAAMMDDITEMS.TXT and EEEEEAAAAMMDDVOF.TXT, where EEEEE will be the entity code and AAAAMMDD the information date to which the updates refer. The information will be recorded in a fixed-length plain text file without separators or tabs, in accordance with the record designs included in point h) of this annex. The absence of a file with the entity code for a given date should be interpreted as meaning that there are no updates to report to the entity on that date. Although the files made available by the BCRA will exclusively contain the updates registered for the specified date, previous files will remain available for consultation by entities. e) The movement type field will be reported as “New Entry” for any update that implies the incorporation of new information originating from data provided by Customs into the entity's database, and as “Assignment” when that incorporation comes from an assignment between entities. Furthermore, any update that implies that the data must be removed from the entity's database will be reported as “Cancellation”. In the case of a modification of already reported data, the cancellation of the previous data and the new data entry will be reported simultaneously. f) In the EEEEEAAAAMMDDVOF.TXT file, the detail of commercial invoices and all complementary information (customs advantages, options, etc.) provided by ARCA and relevant from an exchange perspective will be supplied. In the Advantage/Option/Invoice field (field 6), the type of data being referred to will be specified, while in the Advantage/Option/Invoice Detail field (field 7), the specific value corresponding to the indicated data type will be recorded. If the item number (field 5) is different from zero, the reported data refers exclusively to the indicated item (e.g., IMPONOTITONEROSO Advantage). Whereas, if the item number is equal to 0, the recorded information refers to the dispatch in its entirety (e.g., commercial invoices). g) Although the goods shipment date (field 11 of the EEEEEAAAAMMDDCARATULAS.TXT file) will be presented in AAAAMMDD format; it should be noted that ARCA has warned that there may be specific cases where the data for said field do not necessarily correspond to a valid date. h) Record designs.
