Here\u2019s everything you need to know about the application process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is an EORI number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An EORI number is a unique ID code used to track and register customs information in the European Union (EU). EORI number stands for Economic Operator Registration and Identification number and it\u2019s used by customs and other authorities to monitor and track shipments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The EORI system was brought in on 1 July 2009 and replaced the Traders Union Reference Number System.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who needs an EORI number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You will need an EORI number if your company imports goods into or <a href=\"https:\/\/swoopfunding.com\/au\/business-glossary\/export\/\">exports<\/a> goods from the EU. However, you won\u2019t need an EORI number if you\u2019re moving goods that are not controlled goods and they are for personal use only.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Which type of EORI number you need and where you get it from will depend on where you\u2019re moving goods to and from. You may need more than one. If you don\u2019t have the right EORI number, you may have delays at customs and increased costs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">When is an EORI number required?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll need your EORI number if you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Appoint someone to deal with customs for you and you\u2019re established in the country you\u2019re importing to or exporting from<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Make customs declarations<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use customs systems such as the Customs Handling of Import and Export Freight (CHIEF) system and the Import Control System Northern Ireland (ICS NI)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply for a customs decision.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do I get an EORI number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your business is based in Australia, you\u2019ll need to complete the correct paperwork to get an EORI number. You\u2019ll need to fill in an online form that\u2019s submitted to the government.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the format of an EORI number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>An EORI number is made up of a country code which shows where the business is registered, plus a unique code or number.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to apply for an EORI number<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can apply for an EORI number on the governments website. You will need to sign in using your Government account. If you don\u2019t have a Government account you can create one when you apply.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does the EORI application take?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The application form should only take around five minutes to fill out and you\u2019ll get your EORI number immediately unless there&#8217;s any additional checks of your application. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How long does it take to receive an EORI number after applying?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The time it takes to receive a EORI number after applying can vary depending on several factors, including the administrative processes of the issuing authority and the completeness of the application submitted by you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In some cases, you may receive your EORI number relatively quickly, within a matter of days or weeks, especially if all the required information is provided accurately. However, sometimes the process may take longer, particularly if there are delays in processing due to a high volume of applications, additional information or documentation is required, or if the application needs to go through further verification procedures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Factors such as the jurisdiction in which the application is submitted and any specific requirements or regulations related to your business activities may also influence the processing time. While there is no standard timeline for receiving an EORI number, you can typically expect to receive confirmation of your registration within a reasonable period after submitting the application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Does an EORI number need to be renewed or updated?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Once your application is complete, there is no need to apply again for future transactions. Your EORI number is valid no matter how many transactions you carry out. However, you will need to apply for the relevant EORI number from any other EU country you choose to set up business in.\u00a0However, businesses should always make sure that the information related to their EORI number, such as company details and trading activities, remains accurate and up-to-date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the event of any changes to the business&#8217;s legal status, trading name, or contact information, it may be necessary to update the EORI registration as well. Additionally, if a business faces big changes in its international trade operations or expands into new markets outside the EU, it may need to review its EORI registration to make sure it comply with relevant regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What information do I need to apply for an EORI number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When applying for an EORI number, you will need to have a number of details to hand. For a start, you\u2019ll need to give details of the shipment you\u2019re planning to clear in or out of the EU. You won\u2019t be able to complete the form ahead of time and should you ignore this information, your application will be turned down.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also need your business\u2019 start date, the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code, your Unique Taxpayer Reference (UTR) and your Government user ID and password.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the consequences of not getting an EORI number?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Not getting an EORI number can result in several consequences for businesses doing international trade within the European Union. Without an EORI number, businesses may face challenges and delays when importing or exporting goods to or from EU member states. Customs authorities typically require an EORI number to process customs declarations and do trade transactions. Therefore, a missing EORI number may prevent businesses from completing necessary customs procedures, delays in shipments, and potential penalties for non-compliance with customs regulations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, not having an EORI number may hinder businesses&#8217; ability to claim customs benefits, such as duty exemptions or reduced tariffs, under various trade agreements. This could result in higher import or export costs and reduced competitiveness in the international market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Additionally, failure to get an EORI number may limit businesses&#8217; access to certain customs simplifications or procedures designed to make the trade processes easier and reduce administrative burdens. Without an EORI number, businesses may face additional documentation requirements, inspections, or clearance procedures, leading to increased time and costs related to international trade operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you\u2019re thinking about growing your business internationally, it\u2019s likely you\u2019ll need an EORI number.
