Hi,
How do I go about submitting iBooks for the international market if I don't have a US Tax ID. Is there a way, like with the APP store that I sign a waiver and say that the tax responsibility is mine?
Can I complete the application without a US ID NUMBER and US TAX NUMBER?
Thanks

iBook, iOS 8.2
It doesn't even let me submit the form if I do not give them a US Tax ID. Since I am representing a company based in Hong Kong, obviously without a US TAX ID, I cannot proceed further with the iBook submission process.
These two pages may be of some help :

The second link includes :
Do I need a U.S. Tax ID to offer books on the iBooks Store?
A valid U.S. Tax ID is required if you would like to sell books on the iBooks Store and you are an individual who primarily lives or works in the United States, or you are a company or organization. If you only want to offer books for free, or you are an individual who is not based in the United States, you don’t need a U.S. Tax ID. Learn more about U.S. Tax IDs (EINs).
We will send you an email after we complete verification of your U.S. Tax ID and legal entity name. If we find that the U.S. Tax ID and legal entity name does not match the records of the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, you will be required to update your tax information in Agreements, Tax, and Banking on iTunes Connect.
So if you aren't in the US then you shouldn't need a US Tax ID
The above says for companies :
A valid U.S. Tax ID is required if you would like to sell books on the iBooks Store and you are an individual who primarily lives or works in the United States, or you are a company or organization.
There is a support email address on the second link that I included above, ibooks_applicationsupport@apple.com
