ITIN must for tax treaty benefits?

I have question for fellow developers who reside in a country which has tax treaty agreements with US that has 0% withholding rates for royalty payments. Is Amazon withholding the 30% from your payments if you have not supplied ITIN? As Amazon Tax Interview says that to get treaty benefits, you must have ITIN even if your country has treaty with US with 0% withholding.
