NEW REGS FOR EXPORTING YOUR STUFF

13 years ago

My friendly Allied Van Lines broker faxed me an interesting document earlier today. What it says is that anyone wanting to export household or personal items must have a personal EIN (Employee Identification Number). As a former employer, I have had several EIN numbers for different companies I have owned, but this different. It is personal. The regulation went into effect beginning September 4, 2009. That's the bad news, the good news is the IRS has a website where you can apply online. The web link is:

http://www.irs.gov/businesses/small/article/0,,id=102767,00.html

The punctuation marks after the /0,, are indeed commas not periods. Ditto for the mark before the ,00

The sheet I have has 15 steps to complete the form and a toll free number for the IRS: 800-829-4933.

If you send me an email, I will send the instructions I have. [email protected]
