How should I report a foreign vendor payment of $25,000 or more if they do not have a US ZIP code or DUNS number?
In order for your report to be successfully submitted you must enter either a US ZIP code or DUNS number for the vendor. In some instances, such as purchases of certain research equipment from foreign vendors, it may be appropriate to use the ZIP code or DUNS number of the vendor’s U.S.-based importer or U.S.-based subsidiary. If that is not possible, then the foreign vendor must obtain a DUNS number free of charge by contacting Dun and Bradstreet through their website at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or by phone at 1-866-705-5711. Registration is brief and can be completed immediately when requested by phone, or within 1-2 business days when requested through the webform.
