This would depend on your hosting provider. Getting a dedicated ip address for your shared account isn't an issue, with some providers it may cost extra (i.e. $1 - $2.50+ per ip monthly) or with other providers you may have to upgrade your hosting plan to allow this, again just based on their business setup.

Generally IP addresses are not in any way an issue to get hold of. However most / many hosting providers will charge, and you will have to justify having that IP in line with ARIN guidelines.

Just wanting an IP is no reason to really have one, you will need a specific technical need such as an SSL cert.

All hosts will require a justification for using one, but they charge for each IP.

so example : we have 32 Dedicated IP within order dedicated server, if we want to use it for our shared hosting customer, we must talk to DS Provider/Data Center?.

If they are already provisioned to the server, then you don't. Simply assign them to clients as deemed fit.

You might need to justify their use to get more later though. Usually you have to use 80% of your IPs before you can get more. Valid justifications are things like SSL, Name Servers, etc. I recommend keeping track of them in a spreadsheet until you have too many to for that to be practical.
