A federal Employer Identification Number (EIN) is issued by the IRS and required to open a U.S. bank account, hire employees, file U.S. tax returns, or import goods into the U.S. as a business entity. We handle the SS-4 application — including the international/foreign-entity version when needed.
What's Included:
IRS Form SS-4 EIN application prepared on your behalf
Submission via the correct IRS channel (online for U.S. entities; fax/mail for foreign entities)
Delivery of your EIN within 1–4 weeks (1 business day for online-eligible applicants)
Reference documentation explaining how to use the EIN with FDA, customs, and banking
One-time service — EIN Numbers don't expire
Who It's For:
Foreign companies establishing a U.S. importing operation, new U.S. businesses without a tax ID, sole proprietors transitioning to LLC/corporation status, and any business required to file U.S. tax forms. Existing U.S. businesses with an EIN already do not need a new one.
FAQs:
Q: Isn't EIN application free directly from the IRS?
A: Yes — but the process for foreign applicants (no SSN/ITIN) requires faxing or mailing Form SS-4 and waiting 4+ weeks, often with rejections for formatting issues. We handle it correctly the first time.
Q: Do I need an EIN to import to the U.S.?
A: If you're importing as a business entity (LLC, corporation, partnership) rather than as an individual, yes. U.S. customs requires a tax identifier on import paperwork.
Q: How is EIN different from DUNS?
A: EIN is the IRS tax identifier. DUNS is a D&B business identifier. They serve different purposes — most importers need both.
