The European Commission will implement, as of 15 september 2024, a major change to EORI (Economic Operators Registration and Identification number) registrations for economic operators, with the aim of improving accuracy and efficiency in customs procedures.
What changes?
It will be mandatory for all EORI registrations to include a valid postcode. This update is essential for the effective conduct of transit or export procedures based on the AES system.
Who is required to do this?
All economic operators carrying out business activities subject to EU customs legislation and registered in the EORI system must take immediate steps to comply with these new requirements. This includes any person or company involved in trade, transport or logistics activities requiring interaction with customs authorities, so also importers and exporters.
What do companies need to do?
Verify the accuracy of EORI registrations: It is crucial to check and ensure that your registration includes a valid postcode.
Update registrations with the postcode: If your current registration lacks a postcode, you must update it by 15 september 2024.
What does failure to do so mean?
Failure to comply with this requirement could mean that transit or export procedures are not possible, which in turn could lead to significant delays in trade and transport operations.
