EIN # stands for employer identification number and its needed as a form of identification for AES.
The Automated Export System (AES) is an electronic way to file the Electronic Export Information (EEI) and ocean manifest information directly to U.S. Customs. Every container that leaves the USA must be filed.

From September 4, 2009, a social security number (SSN) became unaccepted as a form of identification. the Foreign Trade Division of the U.S. Census Bureau required all U.S. Citizens shipping household goods and personal effects overseas to obtain a personal EIN (Employer Identification Number) before the shipment will be permitted to be exported from the United States.

Under Title 19, section 1467, of the United Stated Code (19 U.S.C 1467), CBP has a right to examine any shipment imported or exported into or from the united states and it is important to know that you, the importer or exporter must bear the cost of such cargo exams. Per the CBP regulations, it is the responsibility of the importer to make the goods available for examination—“The importer or exporter shall bear any expense involved in preparing the merchandise for CBP examination and in the closing of the packages” (19 C.F.R. 151.6). Household effects are not exempt. No distinction is made between commercial and personal shipments. In the course of normal operation, CBP does not charge for cargo examination. However, there may still be cost involved for the importer or exporter. For example, if your shipment is selected for examination, it will generally be moved to a Centralized Examination Station (CES) for the CBP exam to take place. A CES is a privately operated facility where merchandise is made available to CBP officers for physical examination. The CES facility will unload (devan) your shipment from its shipping container and will reload it after the exam. The CES will bill you for their services. There are also costs associated with moving the cargo to and from the exam site and with storage. Rates will vary across the country and a complete devanning may cost several hundred dollars. The CES facility fulfills the need of both CBP and the importer by providing an efficient means to conduct exams in a timely manner. CES facilities are discussed in part 118 of the Customs Regulations.
