CUSTOMS REQUIREMENTS FROM THE UK TO EU
As the UK is no longer a member of the European Union, trading with any EU country incurs additional customs requirements. An EU and UK EORI (Economic Operator Registration and Identification Number) is now needed for customs officials to allow the consignment to pass through. Both numbers are required, and if both EORIs are not organised, customs officials will halt goods at the border, delaying delivery or, worst case, they will be completely denied entry to the EU.
Extra customs paperwork is also a new requirement post-Brexit, as more customs declarations are needed depending on the goods you ship. Completing this documentation properly is necessary to get your goods cleared through customs. It’s worth noting that shipments delayed at the borders accrue fees, increasing your exporting costs.
