I am on Carrier-Grade NAT/NAT444 and port forwarding works. How is that possible?

I cannot seem to get my head around this. My ISP very recently put me on CGN/NAT444 which means I should not be able to make customized port forwarding, but to my surprise I can. I tested it with built-in router UPnP protocol and it works.

How is it possible for my ISP to allow me to port forward on a huge NAT of theirs? How incoming connections knows my specific router on the internet in the first place?
