Is there some way to test or verify an EIN number before shipping to the USA?

[QUOTE="JustSumGuy, post: 944161, member: 40370"] The package is still being held up somewhere in the brokerage process. I spoke with a Fedex agent 1/2 hour ago. In the notes, it says that the problem with the EIN number is that someone (either the Fedex broker or US Customs) is claiming the EIN number is "out of date". They apparently require the CFO of the recipient to obtain a letter from the IRS claiming that the EIN number is correct or up-to-date. I did some searching on the internet and it appears that EIN numbers - once issued - do not require any sort of updating or re-registering. So it's not clear how they can ever become "out of date". The recipient of the package is stick-handling this on their end and there's nothing more that we can do. If I learn anything more that's interesting about how this situation resolves itself I'll post it here. (the recipient is the VA medical center in columbia SC - so go figure how their EIN number can be screwed up...) [/QUOTE]
