EORI Changes
Beginning from 1st January 2021, an EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification) number will be required in order for merchants to move goods into the UK.
Merchants can apply for an EORI number within 10 minutes via this link.
If you do not have an EORI number, additional costs and delays may happen to your goods and if HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) cannot clear the goods, merchants may have to pay for storage fees and bear return costs.
