What is the Exporter (U.S. principal party in interest) Identification Number (EIN), and where do I get it?
This is the same number the exporter reports on the Employer?s Quarterly Federal Tax Return, Treasurer Form 941. The accounting department should provide this number. Individuals who do not have an EIN should report Social Security Number (SSN). AES will provide exporters (U.S. principal parties in interest) the option of using their Dun and Bradstreet number (DUNS) as their identifier. However, AES also require that the EIN or SSN be on file. Note: a foreign national operating under the conditions of No. 4 above may use the DUNS number, border crossing number, passport number, or any other assign by U.S. Customs.
