What’s an EIN? Why do you need that?

We need the EIN (Employer Identification Number) in order to prepare the shipping paperwork. Also known as the Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN) or the Federal Tax Identification Number, the EIN is a unique nine-digit number assigned by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to business entities operating in the United States for the purposes of identification.

Without the proper EIN, your mascot will be held by United States Customs until one is provided.
