What is an EIN tax number and why do I need it?
A Tax EIN, or Employer Identification Number, is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the IRS to businesses for tax purposes. Including your EIN helps customs authorities verify the legitimacy of your business, ensuring that all shipments comply with regulations. Having your EIN on shipping documents can expedite the customs clearance process, reducing the likelihood of delays.
