Why Brazilian E-Commerce Sellers Need a US ITIN
- Multi-platform selling — Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Shopify, TikTok Shop all require W-8BEN with ITIN for non-US sellers.
- Form 5472 annual filing — If you operate through a US LLC, Form 5472 is mandatory and requires your ITIN.
- US payment processors — Stripe, PayPal, Square all require owner ITIN for non-US LLC accounts.
- US bank account for payouts — E-commerce payouts require a US bank account (Mercury/Relay) that needs your ITIN + EIN.
- Sales tax compliance — Some US states require ITIN for seller registration and nexus determination.
⚠️ Only a CAA Can Certify Your Documents — Don't Risk Rejection
Many ITIN services are not registered IRS Certifying Acceptance Agents. If a non-CAA submits your W-7, the IRS issues a CP567 rejection notice. ITIN Plus is a registered CAA — we certify your passport, file your W-7, and track your application to the IRS directly. You never mail your original passport.
US E-Commerce for Brazilian Entrepreneurs
Brazil is one of the largest sources of non-US Amazon FBA sellers, Etsy artisans, and dropshipping entrepreneurs selling to the US market. Whether you're selling physical products, digital goods, or dropshipped items, accessing the US e-commerce ecosystem requires an ITIN for complete IRS compliance.
The most effective structure is: US LLC + EIN + ITIN + US bank account (Mercury). This combination unlocks Amazon FBA, Shopify Payments, Stripe, and multi-platform selling without payment interruptions. ITIN Plus provides ITIN ($99) and EIN ($50 add-on) — the two tax numbers your US e-commerce business needs.
