BREXIT: Have you thought about your EORI number?

What is the EORI Number?

EORI registration is compulsory before any customs operation in a Member State. In practice, the EORI number, Economic Operator Registration and Identification, is used to identify economic operators and other persons in their dealings with customs authorities. In France, the EORI number is mainly used in online services (electronic declarations) linked to the customs clearance of goods.

The EORI number is in the following form: it uses the structure of the country identifier and the SIRET number according to the diagram: FR + SIRET or GB + SIRET (GBYY87654321)

 

How to get my EORI number?

The request for an EORI number is made via the SOPRANO-EORI online service via the space of the official French customs website

 


French doing business with the United Kingdom?

Registration in France only takes place if you are not already registered in another Member State. French customs then proceeded to register your identification data in advance to send you an EORI number.

If you do not appear in the database or you do not have an EORI number then you will need to register your business with customs.
