For sellers outside the United States

Seller Central is waiting for your EIN. So is your inventory.

Selling under a US LLC means Amazon's tax interview, a US payout account, and suppliers who want a federal tax ID before they open a trade account. None of it moves until the EIN exists, and filing yourself takes 4 to 12 weeks. 99% of our orders are done in 72 hours or less.

Four things that stay blocked until the number arrives

An EIN is not paperwork you file and forget. For a seller it sits in front of the account, the money and the stock.

  • ✓
    Amazon's tax interviewSelling as a US entity means completing the interview as a US person, which asks for the LLC's federal tax ID on a Form W-9. Without it the account cannot be verified.
  • ✓
    Getting paidPayoneer, Wise Business, Mercury and every US bank ask for the EIN and an IRS document before they open an account in the company's name.
  • ✓
    Suppliers and wholesalersUS distributors ask for the EIN before opening a trade account, and a resale certificate needs it too, which is what gets you out of paying sales tax on stock.
  • ✓
    Sales tax registrationOnce you hold inventory in a state you may have nexus there, and state registration asks for the federal number first.

The timing problem nobody mentions

Inventory ships on a schedule. Q4 and Prime Day do not move because the IRS has a backlog. An application faxed in September can easily still be unanswered in November, with stock sitting in a warehouse and an account that cannot be paid out. Getting the EIN first is the cheapest scheduling decision in the whole launch.

What you receive

The IRS EIN verification letter, Form 147c, as a scan of the fax we receive from the IRS. It shows the EIN, the LLC's legal name and the address on file, on IRS letterhead. That is the document Amazon, Payoneer and your bank accept as proof.

It is a real IRS-issued number. We prepare Form SS-4 and file it as your third party designee, the mechanism printed on the form itself. The EIN belongs to your LLC permanently.

Questions sellers ask

I already sell as an individual. Do I need a separate EIN for the LLC?

Yes. An EIN identifies one entity. If you are moving your selling account onto a US LLC, that LLC needs its own number, whatever you used before. It is also the number that goes on the W-9 you give Amazon during the tax interview.

Does this work for Walmart, Etsy, eBay, Shopify and TikTok Shop too?

Yes. It is one federal tax ID for the company, and every marketplace and payment processor verifies against the same number. Nothing about the application is Amazon-specific.

Can I complete Amazon's tax interview with the 147c letter?

Yes. The tax interview asks for the EIN itself, and where a platform asks for documentary proof, the 147c is an official IRS letter and is accepted. It is the same document banks ask for.

My formation service already filed an SS-4 weeks ago. Am I stuck waiting?

No, and you do not risk a duplicate. The IRS issues one EIN per entity. Upload the SS-4 they filed when you order and we work from it: if a number has already been assigned we retrieve it, and if it has not, we get the application through.

Do I need the EIN before I ship inventory?

You need it before the account can be verified and before you can be paid, so shipping first usually just means stock sitting in a warehouse. Suppliers and wholesalers also ask for the EIN before they open a trade account or accept a resale certificate.
