The lack of such information may result in a ban on the entry of the order and its return or destruction, in cases where the return is not possible.

To mitigate the impacts of this requirement and minimize the number of items returned or destroyed, we have updated our process in which Vitacost will now directly collect this number during the checkout process via a field that must be completed along with the address entry. Entry of the Tax ID number will need to be submitted in the following format for Tax ID number known as CUIT (format: 12345678910) so that the CUIT number can be passed to the applicable carrier selected for electronic submission to customs in addition to being available on the package label itself for use by customs in the assessment of any duties/taxes due on shipment to be remitted by the package recipient.
