The Economic Operator Registration and Identification (EORI) number is a unique identifier assigned to businesses and individuals involved in importing or exporting goods within the European Union (EU).
EORI number is used to track and monitor transactions related to customs activities. It also helps customs authorities identify and verify the entities involved in international trade.
Businesses need to get an EORI number before they can do business with EU countries. In essence, the EORI number facilitates smoother and more efficient customs procedures.
