If are a UK business that imports, exports or uses courier services to transport goods to Europe you must have a UK EORI number, or you\u2019ll be unable to ship goods. EORI stands for \u201cEconomic Operator Registration and Identification\u201d.<\/p>\n

After Brexit, businesses who trade between the EU and UK will require the shipper and receiver to have an EORI number for their respective country.<\/p>\n

To clarify, if you are a UK business sending goods to a supplier in Spain for example, you will require a UK EORI number and your supplier in Spain will require an EORI number registered in Spain to be able to receive the goods.<\/p>\n

UK EORI numbers will not be recognised in the EU. EU EORI numbers will not be accepted in the UK. All businesses must register for an EORI in their respective country as soon as possible. It\u2019s usually an online application on the country\u2019s Government website. You can apply for a UK EORI number from the following government website: Apply via: www.gov.uk\/hmrc\/get-eori<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3937,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-3059","brexit","type-brexit","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nPaperless Trade -
