IMPORTANT FOR USA BUYERS. U.S. Customs and Border Protection
now require us to give then either your social security number or business
identification number.
When an individual or company purchases goods from an overseas supplier, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) considers them the ultimate importer. The ultimate importer can clear the goods or have a Customs Broker clear them on their behalf. If the supplier hires a carrier that provides door to door service, the carrier service usually has brokers in their supply chain to clear the goods on behalf of the ultimate importer. If a formal entry is required, CBP regulations require the broker to put the ultimate importer's identification number on the CBP Form 7501- Entry Summary.
The ultimate importer's identification number is either the
Employers Identification Number (EIN) tax identification number assigned by the
Internal Revenue Service (IRS) or the importer's social security number. The
EIN is issued for the purpose of tax administration and are not intended for
participation in any other activities (e.g., tax lien auction or sales,
lotteries). For additional information about EIN, please visit the IRS web page
"Apply for an Employer Identification (EIN) Online."
