EORI
Customs & complianceEconomic Operators Registration and Identification
The number a business needs to be identified by customs when importing into or exporting from the EU.
In practice
Issued by one EU member state and valid across the EU. The consignee's EORI must be on the ENS and the import declaration. Without it, cargo cannot clear. The UK has a separate GB EORI after Brexit.
Seen in the wild
Please provide the consignee's EORI number for the Hamburg import.
