Part III Notional Principal Contracts

11 [  ] I have provided or will provide a statement that identifies those notional principal contracts from which the income is not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. I agree to update this statement as required.

参考译文：
第三部分 名义本金合同
11 [  ] 我已经提供了或者将会提供一份声明，该声明中列出的名义本金合同所产生的收入和在美的贸易或商业活动无关， 我同意按照要求更新此声明。

看了静水流深之前贴出来的帖子，是勾选了这一项的。但在另外一些论坛里又有不勾选的说法。
是否勾选，对于收款可能并无大碍。只是自己希望弄明白，就当学习好了。

问题1
对于在大陆的publisher，是否应该勾选呢？

问题2
这里指的statement似乎不是指w8ben，而是另外一份文件。如果勾选，逻辑上就得再提交一份statement？

thanks.

不要勾选

sdjgshfgs，没有勾选第11行，你可以正常收款么？

看了 iw8ben Form Instructions.pdf，似乎还是不勾选为好，或许根本就应应该勾选。

If you check this box, you must provide the withholding agent with the required statement for income from a notional principal contract that is to be treated as income not effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business in the United States. You should update this statement as often as necessary. A new Form W-8BEN is not required for each update provided the form otherwise remains valid.

有完全明白的朋友，回个贴，让我死心，也让后来人不走弯路。谢谢
