EORI's EU "pass" is important for cross-border e-commerce!

EORI, a seemingly simple code, is the "golden key" for Taiwan's cross-border sellers to enter the EU market! Without it, your goods may not be able to pass through the EU customs smoothly. What's even more valuable is that a properly applied EORI number can help you navigate through the 27 countries of the EU without any obstacles.

EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification) is the abbreviation for the European Economic Operator Registration and Identification System, which assigns a unique identification number to businesses engaged in import and export activities within Europe. Simply put, this is your "identity card" for customs clearance in the EU, and only one valid EORI number is required for the whole of the EU.

Do you know how powerful EORI is? EORI is not only used for customs declarations so that your goods can be cleared through customs; it also handles VAT related matters to ensure that VAT is paid and refunded legally; it also improves the security and compliance of international trade so that customs can track and monitor import and export activities; and most eye-opening of all, it enhances the credibility of your business in the international trade community by showing that you are authorized to engage in cross-border trade!

However, you have to pay attention! Recently, many French EORI numbers have been invalidated, which has had a serious impact on e-commerce entrepreneurs. The main reasons for these failures are: companies failing to update their customs information in a timely manner, especially if the EORI number is not tied to a French VAT number; or compliance issues, such as failure to meet tax requirements that result in the VAT number being invalidated.

What if your EORI number is not valid? You can 1) update your information to reactivate it or 2) apply for a new EORI number in another EU country. The format of the EORI document varies from country to country, from Germany, the United Kingdom, and France to Italy, Spain, Poland, and the Czech Republic, and each country has its own specific format.

For European sellers, EORI number is an important and indispensable part of cross-border trade in Europe. We recommend that all cross-border e-commerce sellers should attach great importance to the application and management of the EORI number, enhance their understanding of its use and compliance, and process relevant information updates in a timely manner.
