How to apply for an EIN
From Global Reach:
There is one thing that is essential to your exporting success – proper identification. If you are a U.S. Principal Party in Interest or a U.S. authorized agent, the Automated Export System (AES) requires you to identify you or your company with an Employer Identification Number (EIN), Dun & Bradstreet (DUNS) number or any number assigned by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection. The most common identification numbers used are the EIN and the DUNS, but how do you get one?
