Is EIN needed for shipping goods from US - if I am retiring (will not be employed)???

Doesn’t seem to make sense if I will not be earning money in Taiwan…
Thanks!!!

Employee identification number?

My apologies. Yes, but they called it Employer Identification Number.

CBP made a change in 2010 and disallowed the use of social security number to identify a shippers for the export filing in AES (Automated Export System). You have to apply for an EIN or DUNS now.

Wow, thanks so much for that reply. I appreciate you clearing that up for me.
