EORI Number
EORI stands for Economic Operators Registration and Identification. It is a unique identifier assigned to businesses and other persons who engage in customs activities in the European Union (EU). An EORI number is required for all types of customs operations, including import, export, and transit.
The EORI number is a 17-digit alphanumeric code that consists of the following:
The first two digits are the country code of the issuing member state. For example, the country code for the United Kingdom is GB.
The next 15 digits are a unique identifier that is assigned by the customs authorities of the issuing member state.
EORI numbers are issued by the customs authorities of each EU member state. In the United Kingdom, EORI numbers are issued by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
To apply for an EORI number, you will need to provide the following information:
Your business name and address
Your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) or National Insurance number
Your VAT registration number (if applicable)
You can apply for an EORI number online.
Once you have an EORI number, you will need to use it when you submit customs declarations to the authorities. You will also need to provide your EORI number to customs officials when you clear goods through customs.
EORI numbers are a valuable tool for businesses that engage in customs activities in the EU. They help to simplify customs clearance and reduce the risk of errors.
Here are some of the benefits of having an EORI number:
It allows you to submit customs declarations electronically.
It helps to ensure that your customs declarations are processed more quickly.
It can reduce the amount of customs duty you have to pay.
It can help to prevent fraud and other illegal activity.
If you are a business that engages in customs activities in the EU, you should consider applying for an EORI number.
