As of a couple years ago, it's necessary to provide customs with the
importer identification number, on shipments with a value greater that
US$2000. For shipments less than that, you only need to provide name
and address. The importer id number needn't be your SSN; it can be
any taxpayer ID number that the IRS has issued you (or the corporate
entity that's doing the importing.), as I understand the rules.
What's this is supposed to do, I have no clue.
