Main Commodity(/HS) Code
税番 is used to determine the duty payable on imported goods. It usually conforms to international standards such as the WCO Harmonized System or EC Taric Codes (see http://www.ukimports.org/customs_commodity_classification_hs...
http://www.ehow.co.uk/list_6768072_customs-commodity-code-li...
The Harmonized Commodity Description and Coding System (HS) is a global method of classifying products that are exported and imported for customs purposes. The six-digit coding system is administered on the international level by the World Customs Organization (WCO) through its member nations.
For the Harmonized System, see also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harmonized_System
税番 seems to be used commonly to refer to the same Harmonized System Code (統計品目番号):

輸入統計品目番号
輸入統計品目について通関上、大蔵省が告示した品目 分類表の番号。
すべて数字でXXXX.XX-XXX のように表示される。 統計番号、税番、タリフ番号、HSコードなどと略称される。

「商品の名称及び分類についての統一システム」。この統一されたシステムの中に外国から
輸入される貨物の一つ一つに対しての番号(コード)が決められています。
その番号から導き出された税率によって、輸入する際の関税額が決定します。
一般的に税番とかHSコードなどと呼ばれています。
As for the particular term 代表税番, which appears at the top of import declaration forms, all I could find was the following:

Sorry for the number of references but since I don’t work in this field, I thought it might be useful to supply as many references as possible so that you can evaluate the sources yourself.

Do you have any context?
Note from asker:
