Policy & Compliance Declaration in the EU.


For EU economic operators, the application for an EORI number should be sent to the customs authorities of the member states in which they are established. As from 5 March, the EORI2 application is being developed. The deployment of “EOS v3.11.0.0” is part of IT-implementation of the Union Customs Code in accordance with the work programme set up for this purpose. EORI2 has become necessary due to legal changes brought about by the Union Customs Code and the supporting delegated and implementing acts.

The changes should bring enhancements for both trade and customs. Changes were made to the format of the fields containing company names to conform with international standards. This goes hand in hand with an increased size of these fields. It is now possible to insert company names with up to 512 characters. For the short name, which is for example used in international data exchanges, 70 characters are available. Further, for EORI numbers that are no longer active, the expiry date will be a mandatory data element. The information will be retained for ten years after the expiry date in order to facilitate the correction of customs declarations that have been lodged before the economic operator became inactive.


Information about whether economic operators are established in the EU will also be available on line. The ready availability of this information will allow customs to avoid cumbersome checks at the border when the customs declaration is actually lodged. It is a contribution to provide for a smooth flow of goods across the border. An updated e-learning course on EORI is now also available at: http://ec.europa.eu/ taxation_customs/dds2/eos/eori_validation.jsp?L ang=enr
