Apply for your UK EORI number

An EORI number is a unique registration number used across the United Kingdom to identify economic operators in their dealings with HMRC. It is required for any individual or business that commercially imports, exports or moves goods across the UK border.

EORI numbers are issued by HMRC. Through the online procedure offered here you can prepare, check and submit your application in a structured way.
