SinceShipStation provides business-to-business (B2B) services, we must confirm we are working with registered businesses to be compliant with current legislation. The Numéro de TVA is the method we use to determine the business status of a company. This is why we require your n° TVA to use ShipStation.
If you instead need details on how to add your Tax Identifier Number to customs declarations, see our Tax Identifier Number Guide.
