EORI registration

Obtaining an identification number for an economic operator

The Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number (EORI) is a unique code assigned to companies engaged in international trade within the European Union (EU). It is mandatory for importers and exporters and facilitates customs processes by providing a standardized identification system. The EORI number is assigned by the customs authorities of EU member states based on the available tax or company identification number.

The EORI number is used in customs declarations, import/export documentation, and communication with customs authorities. It helps to track shipments, verify traders, and simplify customs clearance procedures. Obtaining an EORI number is required for businesses engaged in cross-border trade with the EU, and the application process may differ between members.

Thus, the EORI number is a unique identifier required for companies engaged in international trade in the EU. It simplifies customs procedures, helps to verify traders, and is assigned by customs authorities based on available identification numbers.
