International supply chains are becoming increasingly complex. Therefore, customs authorities want to be able to unambiguously identify companies engaged in cross-border trade. To make that possible, they developed the EORI number (Economic Operators Registration and Identification). Companies entering or exporting goods into the EU must use this number. Without EORI, shipments slow down and goods cannot be cleared or exported.
The EORI number is a unique identification number issued by Customs to companies trading with countries outside the EU. The number is used in all communications with customs, such as import and export declarations, transit procedures and statistical declarations.

An Asian manufacturer wanted to import electronics into the EU via Rotterdam. Because the company did not have an establishment in the EU, Neele-Vat guided the application process for an EORI number and acted as fiscal representative. This allowed the goods to be quickly imported and further distributed in Europe.
An EORI number is a unique identification number for customs matters in the EU.
