Shipping Internationally Question, by sufsean on Jan 17, 2018 15:26:28 GMT 1, Hi everyone,
Wondering if anyone has had experience shipping to the UK from the US, an art sale that made on here or otherwise that was over $5k in value.
Asking because when I called for a quote, the mentioned Homeland security, getting my social security/tax number, etc...
Wondering if that's par for the course or not.
Also--if anyone has tips, that'd be great too. Thanks again!

Shipping Internationally Question, by sufsean on Jan 17, 2018 15:35:01 GMT 1, Yes - DHL took my SSN when importing.
the SSN is basically because of the value, and making sure I report it to the Tax Man the following April?
Am I understanding that correctly?
Yes - DHL took my SSN when importing. so in short, the ssn is not for like any customs or taxes that would potentially incur entering the UK (that would be the responsibility of a buyer)...right? the SSN is basically because of the value, and making sure I report it to the Tax Man the following April? Am I understanding that correctly? |

Shipping Internationally Question, by sufsean on Jan 18, 2018 5:44:55 GMT 1, What about having an EIN number to ship internationally? Has anyone had to do this/ get one, and not a business?
