The Export Import Bank of the United
States, pursuant to the Export Import Bank Act of 1945, as amended
(12 USC 635, et.seq.), facilitates the finance of the export of
U.S. goods and services. The "Short Term Multi-Buyer Export credit
Insurance Application" form will be used by entities involved in
the export of US goods and services, to provide EXIM Bank with the
information necessary to obtain legislatively required assurance of
repayment and fulfill other statutory requirements. The Application
for Short-Term Multi-Buyer Export Credit Insurance Policy has been
and will be used to determine the eligibility of the applicant and
the transaction for Export-Import Bank assistance under its
insurance program. Export-Import Bank customers will be able to
submit this form on paper or electronically. The Export-Import Bank
has made a change to the report to have the applicant provide their
number of employees or annual sales volume. That information is
needed to determine whether or not they meet the SBA's definition
of a small business. The applicant already provides their name,
address and industry code (NAICS). These additional pieces of
information will allow Ex-Im Bank to better track the extent to
which its support assists U.S. small businesses. The other change
that EXIM Bank has made is to require the applicant to indicate
whether it is a minority-owned business, women-owned business
and/or veteran-owned business. Although answers to the questions
are mandatory, the company may choose any one of the three answers:
Yes/No/Decline to Answer. The option of "Decline to Answer" allows
a company to consciously decline to answer the specific question
should they not wish to provide that information.
