<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Dear Jorge,<br>
<br>
I concur with Ellen that tax IDs may be used by customs or
carriers to identify receiver of imports. As posted various times,
it is definitely worth in this context (to avoid import turnover
taxes) to use the proper harmonised customs tariff code for museum
collection objects (CN-code 9705 00), to declare a value for
customs purposes which ideally ranges between 1-20 U$ for the
contained packing / bolstering material, and to clearly state that
these museum objects have no commercial value and are not for
resale.<br>
<br>
All the best<br>

<div>Dear Colleagues:
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This one is new to me. Someone from Venezuela hopes to
send a small sample of geological specimens via a fast
courier. The person says the courier company needs a tax id
number and that such request is standard protocol by the
courier companies. This one is new to me in over 30 years
connected with museums.</div>
