HMRC allocates EORI numbers to all possible traders

On 21 August the Chancellor announced that HMRC is stepping up efforts to ensure businesses are ready to trade post-Brexit by automatically enrolling companies in an important customs system and doubling the numbers registered. If  your business does not have an EORI number post-Brexit, you will be unable to continue to trade with EU Member States.

As many traders as possible will be automatically allocated an EORI number to enable them to trade smoothly once the UK leaves the EU on 31 October.

 

Every business will need an EORI number to move goods into or out of the EU after Brexit.

 

HMRC is sending letters to all possible VAT-registered businesses over the next two weeks to advise them of their assigned UK EORI number. 

 

If your business is not VAT-registered, you still need to register for an EORI number.

 

Getting an EORI number is an easy process that takes five to 10 minutes.
