Frequently asked questions
Can a foreign company obtain a UK EORI number, even without a local presence?
Yes, absolutely.
This is actually the case for the majority of applications since Brexit.
Contrary to some misconceptions, a company does not need:
- to be physically established in the United Kingdom
- to have a local warehouse
- to have an employee on-site
For HMRC, the only real criterion is the nature of the commercial flows.
A company must have a UK EORI as soon as it:
- imports goods into the United Kingdom
- exports goods from the United Kingdom
- stores products or uses Amazon FBA UK
- works with British customs or logistics platforms
The UK EORI number serves as a unique identifier with customs.
Without it, no logistics operation can be validated, even if you do not reside in the United Kingdom.
We assist many foreign companies (EU, Canada, Switzerland, French-speaking Africa, French Overseas Territories, etc.) in obtaining their UK EORI with excellent results.
What is the difference between a UK EORI and an EU EORI, and why are the two now separate?
Since Brexit, the United Kingdom and the European Union operate as two distinct customs zones.
In practical terms, this means:
- an EU EORI is no longer valid in the United Kingdom
- a UK EORI does not work in the European Union
- any company operating in both areas must have two distinct numbers
Carriers, freight forwarders, and e-commerce platforms systematically check for the correct EORI:
- UK EORI for all operations related to the United Kingdom,
- EU EORI for flows within the European Union.
Not having the correct EORI leads to immediate customs blockages.
What happens if I do not have a UK EORI number while importing/exporting goods?
The absence of a UK EORI leads to immediate consequences:
- your goods will be blocked at customs
- no customs declaration can be made
- DHL / UPS / FedEx / DPD will refuse to process your parcels
- storage fees can accumulate
- goods may be returned or destroyed depending on the procedure
Carriers cannot “bypass” the rule.
Without a valid UK EORI, no parcel, no pallet, and no container can move.
Our service helps avoid these blockages, which are often costly for businesses.
What documents are needed to obtain a UK EORI and how long does it take?
British customs generally request:
- company documents (certificate of incorporation)
- the identity of the director or UBO
- the nature of the business activity
- a description of the planned logistics flows,
- sometimes a UK VAT number (not mandatory but facilitates certain procedures)
Obtaining a UK EORI is generally fast: between 24 and 72 hours depending on HMRC’s administrative workload.
We handle the entire procedure, from file submission to exchanges with customs and the transmission of the number as soon as it is issued.
