EORI Number - What is it?

Price: £38.50

An EORI Number is an Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number. It is obtained to help traders communicate with customs officials when they are importing and exporting goods. Importers and Exporters are able to obtain an EORI Number which can be used throughout the EU. The number can be used when communicating with any customs authorities in the EU, for example, in customs declarations where a customs identifier is required.

An EORI number is stored both nationally and on a central EU Economic Operator Registration and Identification database. The information the database provides is used by customs authorities to exchange information, and to share information with government departments and agencies.
