EORI number
Registration

The EORI system was formed by the EU Commission to shorten the time of customs clearance procedures

What is EORI?

Economic Operators Registration and Identification system is a database of enterprises that run a business on the territory of the EU.

If there is no EORI number, customs clearance is impossible. In this case, goods will be stuck at customs or even returned to the sender.

The code is a 17-digit number (2 letters denoting the state, 10 digits, and again 5 letters).

This number is unique and each company engaged in foreign economic activity has the opportunity to receive only one. It is applicable throughout the EU.

When do you need an EORI number?

In the case of export, import to the EU

In the case of transit transportation within the EU

In case you need it fills in the documents provided by the EU customs authorities

How to get the EU EORI number?

There are special features of receiving an EORI number in each country. There are also differences between companies and entrepreneurs registered on the territory of the EU and those who are registered outside it.

The residents can get the EORI number in the country of registration, and non-residents – in the country where customs clearance is done for the first time.

What documents are required?

Certificate of registration

VAT certificate

Passport of the applicant

Note!

The list of documents and the submission form may differ for each country.

There is no expiration date for this code.

We liked that all of our transactions from different regions and sales channels are uploaded to one place and safely stored there. Whenever needed – we can check all the information about those, which helped when we had questions from tax authorities regarding our sales. The feature of auto-submission for Sales Tax is also brilliant and saved much time for us as we sell in various states.
