80% cross-border seller applies for EORI and gets the first step wrong! A Professional Guide to Help You Clear Customs Quickly

80%'s cross-border sellers apply for EORI, the first step is wrong! Many Taiwan cross-border sellers have overlooked the correlation between EORI and VAT during the application process, resulting in subsequent customs clearance difficulties. Next I will tell you how to correctly understand the role of EORI and the application process, so that your EU cross-border journey without obstacles.

EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification), as the abbreviation of the European Economic Operator Registration and Identification System, is a unique identification number assigned to enterprises engaged in import and export activities within Europe. Unlike other common identifiers, the EORI number is mainly used for customs clearance and is a mandatory number for cross-border brands importing and exporting to and from the EU customs. What's more, only one valid EORI number is required for EU-wide customs clearance, and each enterprise can only apply for one.

Did you know that EORI has a wide range of uses? For customs declaration, this number is required for both import and export; for tax compliance, enterprises can provide this number when filing VAT returns to ensure that VAT is legally paid and refunded; for security compliance, it helps to improve the security of international trade, making it easier for customs to track and monitor import and export activities; and for corporate reputation, it indicates that the enterprise is authorized to engage in cross-border trade, which is conducive to building business trust. This is conducive to building business trust.

The biggest problem is the risk of EORI number failure. Recently, it has been reported that many French registered EORI numbers have been invalidated, causing serious impact on the export trade of Amazon sellers. There are two main reasons for the failure: firstly, the information is not updated in time, especially if the EORI number is not bound to the French VAT number; secondly, there are compliance issues, such as failure to meet tax requirements resulting in the invalidation of the VAT number, or failure to comply with EU trade regulations.

If your EORI number is no longer valid, you can consider the following strategies: make sure all information about your business is up-to-date in the customs system of the country where you are registered and communicate with the customs in a timely manner; or apply for a new EORI number in another EU country to ensure that your business will not be affected. For example, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, Spain, Poland and the Czech Republic can apply for an EORI, and the article shows the sample EORI documents of each country for reference.

EORI number is an important and indispensable part of cross-border trade in Europe for European sellers. E-commerce entrepreneurs should attach great importance to the application and management of the EORI number, enhance their understanding of its use and compliance, and handle relevant information updates in a timely manner.
