The EORI codes have started to be used since 2009 throughout the European Union.
The EORI code is a unique number designated for an economic operator that carries out import-export activities in the EU Member States. This code can be obtained from the authorities authorized in the Member State in which the company is registered. Companies outside the Union can obtain the EORI code at the first customs point in the EU.
