EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) is the abbreviation of the European Economic Operator Registration and Identification System, which aims at assigning a unique identification code to enterprises and individuals engaged in import and export activities in Europe, so as to facilitate their supervision and management by customs and other organizations.
Listen to me point a favor. Simply put, the EORI number is mainly used for customs clearance, and is a mandatory number for sellers importing and exporting to and from the EU customs. EU only need to have a valid EORI number to realize the EU customs clearance, and can only apply for one.

The EORI number is an essential piece of information in the import and export declaration process. Whether the goods are imported or exported, the EORI number is required to be entered on the customs declaration so that customs can identify and process the relevant trade activities. - Tax Compliance
In the European Union, the EORI number is also used for VAT-related matters. Companies can provide this number when filing their VAT returns, thus ensuring that VAT is paid and refunded legally. - Safety Compliance

Recently, it has been reported that a number of French registered EORI numbers have failed, which has caused considerable impact on the export trade of sellers, and the general failure of EORI numbers may be due to the following reasons:
