EIN Individual Request

 


Every company must have an EIN or Employer Identification Number to run a business in the US. EIN number is required for every organization whether it is a small company with one employee or a multinational company with more than a thousand employees. This is a unique nine-digit number which identifies the organization to the Internal Revenue Service.

 

This number is used by individuals for exporting goods from the United States while applying for an exporter account. Individuals must require an EIN number for exporting to the US even if they don't own any business. The requirement for an EIN number always remains the same, whether you are exporting on behalf of a US company or gifting to a family member, or shipping a personal vehicle, and for all of this, you have to fill an EIN individual request.
